Hello, Azure Database for Postgres has been down (in updating state) for 5 hours. The maintenance seems to have been planned, but downtime expected for 120 seconds only, while it has been 5 hours.
This is a flexible server.
Thanks

    Hi @steve

    The server remained in the 'Updating' state longer than expected due to an underlying issue where the VM containers became unhealthy during the maintenance operation. Our Product Group has taken action and restarted the impacted containers.

    The server is now recovering and should return to a Ready state shortly. We will continue to monitor to ensure stability.

    Please let us know if you still face any issues.
