The exchange estimates about 15 minutes of downtime, followed by a staged return to normal market operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>When is Kraken&#039;s website and API maintenance?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The maintenance is scheduled to begin at 08:01 UTC on October 29, 2026, and is expected to take about 15 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kraken says it will upgrade systems supporting the Spot Exchange website and API. The duration is an estimate, and the precise service-restoration time may shift slightly.<\/p>\n<p>If you use the API for automated trading, check the schedule against your system&#8217;s time zone and review Kraken&#8217;s status page as the maintenance window approaches.<\/p>\n<h2>What will be unavailable during maintenance?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Kraken Spot Exchange website and API will be unavailable, and Kraken advises users not to place or cancel orders during the window.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kraken warns that the Spot Exchange website and API will be unavailable during the work. Deposits and withdrawals initiated during the maintenance may be delayed. The notice says sign-in and other non-trading features will remain operational.<\/p>\n<p>If a strategy or third-party integration submits orders through the API, consider reviewing its schedule and handling for temporary unavailability in advance. This is a practical precaution, not a separate instruction from Kraken.<\/p>\n<h2>How will markets return to normal?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>After maintenance, Kraken plans to move markets through cancel-only mode, then post-only mode, before restoring full functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The return to trading will be staged: markets will first enter cancel-only mode, then post-only mode, and finally return to full functionality. The end of the estimated maintenance window therefore may not mean that every order type is immediately available.<\/p>\n<p>Check Kraken&#8217;s live status and the current market mode before resuming automated trading or submitting API orders.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What time does Kraken maintenance start?<\/h3>\n<p>It is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 08:01 UTC. Kraken estimates about 15 minutes, but the actual restoration time may vary slightly.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I place or cancel orders during the maintenance?<\/h3>\n<p>Kraken advises against placing or canceling orders during the maintenance because the Spot Exchange website and API will be unavailable.<\/p>\n<h3>Could deposits or withdrawals be delayed?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Kraken says deposits and withdrawals initiated during the maintenance window may be delayed.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I resume trading?<\/h3>\n<p>Check Kraken&#039;s status updates.
