maintenance mode
Temporary operational pause
Maintenance mode is a state in which a system, software, or service operates with reduced functionality while updates, repairs, or improvements are made.
Users typically can't access full features during this time: The website will be in maintenance mode from 2-4 AM.
The term extends beyond technology to describe any situation of minimal activity aimed at preservation rather than growth: After the merger, the division was put in maintenance mode.
