downtimes
Off-peak intervals
Downtimes is the plural of downtime—periods when a system, machine, or operation is not functioning.
In computing and manufacturing, downtimes are tracked as metrics: We've reduced unplanned downtimes by forty percent.
The word also covers personal rest periods: I treasure my downtimes between projects.
