The admin console will be read-only for all App Engine apps for up to
3 hours starting at 4pm PST on 7th March.

This means that deployments and other settings changes in the admin
console will not be possible during this time, but read-only data such
as logs and billing history will still be available.

This is an update to the earlier message announcing the upcoming maintenance period on March 7th, 2012. The earlier maintenance schedule has been revised. The new maintenance schedule is planned as follows (all times are in Pacific Standard Time):

4:00pm-4:30pm - Master/slave datastore read-only period. The ability for applications using the High Replication Datastore to read or write data will not be impacted. Memcache will be flushed.

4:30pm-8:00pm - The Admin Console for ALL applications will be placed into read-only. During this period, developers will not be able to push new versions of applications or make other changes in the Admin Console, though read-only data such as logging data and billing history will still be available. Both Master/Slave and High Replication Datastore applications should serve normally otherwise with full read/write access to the datastore.

Note that the announced times are targets and the actual maintenance period may deviate slightly.

The first phase of maintenance (the master/slave datastore read-only
period) is now finished; the Admin Console for ALL applications
remains read-only until the maintenance is completed.
