Genshin Impact Version 5.1 maintenance was scheduled to start on October 9, 2024, at 06:00 UTC+8 (October 8 at 22:00 UTC). HoYoverse estimated five hours of downtime, so the expected end was October 9 at 11:00 UTC+8 (03:00 UTC). That was a planned finish, not a verified server reopening time.
Version 5.1 maintenance schedule by server
HoYoverse used UTC+8 for its official start time. The regional schedule below converts the planned window into the server time zones listed by Game8; each end time is based on the five-hour estimate.
| Server | Scheduled start | Estimated end | Time zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | October 8, 6:00 PM | October 8, 11:00 PM | UTC−5 |
| Europe | October 9, 12:00 AM | October 9, 5:00 AM | UTC+1 |
| Asia | October 9, 7:00 AM | October 9, 12:00 PM | UTC+8 |
| TW/HK/MO | October 9, 7:00 AM | October 9, 12:00 PM | UTC+8 |
Calendar dates differ because the North America window was listed in UTC−5, where the start fell on October 8. Europe and the UTC+8 regions saw the schedule on October 9. Game8’s Version 5.1 maintenance schedule lists the regional windows.
Was the stated end time guaranteed?
No. HoYoverse said maintenance was expected to take five hours, which yields an estimated finish of October 9 at 11:00 UTC+8 (03:00 UTC). The official notice provides a planned duration, not a confirmed time when each server actually reopened. HoYoverse’s Version 5.1 update details give the expected duration, while its maintenance preview confirms the scheduled start.
Version 5.1 maintenance compensation
HoYoverse announced 300 Primogems as compensation for Version 5.1 maintenance, at a rate of 60 Primogems per maintenance hour. This amount refers to that 2024 update notice, not a standing or current compensation policy. The update details include the compensation terms.
