The Canadian Revenue Agency website is down from 3am to 6am every single day for maintenance. They are also scheduled to be down for days at a time.

This site is used for everything. Reviewing your taxes, reading mail and notifications you've received from the government, filing returns, making payments, etc.

That sounds amazing... as an admin, I mean. Can you imagine being allowed to have scheduled downtime every day? It does suck a bit for users, although honestly putting it at 3-6AM mitigates a lot of my concerns with that.

As long as the website is only used in a single timezone, I guess it's not too bad.

Buuuut the website is used across 4.5 hours of timezones: from the west coasts GMT-8 to the east coasts GMT-3:30

Depending on which timezone 3-6AM is in, it could still be pretty reasonable.
