AWSQS: Google App Engine Maintenance scheduled for 2010.02.18 01:00 UTC for one hour

[C Sowa]

FYI, just received this notice:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-downtime-notify/msg/76dc3176f803cea6

The impact on AWSQS will be variable.

*** Signing Requests:

Worst case is you will receive an XML document with an error message
and an HTTP 500 error code.

If, however, you have made a "recent" signing request and your AWS
Id / Key pair is still in memory at the time of the outage, AWSQS
will
be able to sign your request and respond as usual, as long as GAE
does
not flush the app from memory in the interim. The exact nature of
"recent", however, depends on many external factors.

*** Accumulated Usage Counts:

Counts of requests that are successful will not be accumulated for
this period and for up to twenty minutes before the outage.

*** Key Registration:

During this period no AWS Id / Key pairs may be registered or
changed.

Thanks for your patience !
