scheduled maintenance
Prearranged service work
Scheduled maintenance is planned upkeep performed at regular intervals to keep equipment, systems, or infrastructure functioning properly.
The term appears in contexts from car care to software updates: The site will be down for scheduled maintenance from 2-4 AM.
It's often distinguished from emergency repairs—problems you anticipate versus problems that surprise you.
