When to use maintenance mode?
It is recommended that you use maintenance mode in a couple of scenarios to avoid data loss or downtime for your app.
Updating plans for addons
If you want to update the plans of your addons, you need to switch your app into maintenance mode first. Only then would you be enabled to change the plan of your addons. Once you've done updating the plan, you can turn off maintenance mode. This is required so that there is no data loss or unexpected errors for users while the addons are being updated.
Importing data into your addons
Maintenance mode needs to be turned on whenever you're importing data into your addons with the Import
feature. This is to avoid any data loss when the restore process is running.
