Now, this is the Genshin Impact 4.2 maintenance and server downtime.
Genshin Impact 4.2 maintenance time
Genshin Impact 4.2 maintenance will begin on Tuesday, November 7 at 11 pm BST. As confirmed in an official post by HoYoverse, once servers go offline, Genshin Impact will be down until the update process is complete.
Servers are taken down at 6 am server time (UTC+8). Due to time differences, the Genshin Impact 4.2 maintenance time will kick in on November 7 for some and November 8 for others. For each region in the world, we’ve put together this table to give you an idea of when server maintenance will happen for your area.

| UK – BST | November 7, 2023 at 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM |

Genshin Impact 4.2 server downtime
As you can see in the table above, the Genshin Impact downtime for updates is typically around five hours. If, for whatever reason, the downtime is longer, we all get an extra 60 Primogems for every hour the update is delayed.
As a baseline, 300 Primogems are given out as compensation when the servers come back online with the release of the new patch. There is then an extra 300 Primogems if there are any issue fixes deployed in the patch.
