how long is steam down on tuesdays

Steam undergoes routine maintenance every Tuesday, typically lasting less than an hour, often around 20 to 30 minutes. Maintenance usually occurs between 3 PM and 6 PM Pacific Time (which corresponds to roughly 6 PM to 9 PM Eastern Time). During this time, Steam servers go down for the maintenance work, affecting access to multiplayer games and online services. Valve generally schedules the maintenance to have minimal downtime and tries to avoid peak usage hours, but it can still disrupt gameplay temporarily on Tuesdays.
