service window
Where you're served
A service window is an opening in a wall or barrier where transactions occur between staff and customers—at a bank, post office, pharmacy, or government office.
The term extends to time periods when something is available or possible: The launch has a narrow service window.
In computing, it may refer to scheduled maintenance periods when systems are accessible for updates.
