Most HPC centers have scheduled downtime on a regular basis.
That's not my experience before now, where I've worked in Australia we scheduled maintenance for when we absolutely had to do them, but there could be delays to them if there were critical workloads from users.
Here at NERSC we do have monthly maintenances and it makes life a lot easier, especially as we are pretty much always upgrading Slurm (new patches, even if there isn't a new release).
