The Rubin Science Platform at data.lsst.cloud will be unavailable starting 08:30 PT this Monday in order to configure it for the [Phase 1 DP2 release](http://www.rubin.community/t/lsst-agn-sc-12-march-2026-telecon-minutes/11730) (aka “early DP2”). During this time, you will not be able to access any data.lsst.cloud services or data products.

Normality is expected to resume between 12 noon and 3pm Pacific. Here is the outage window in some more timezones:

| Timezone | Start | Early end | Contingency end |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pacific (PDT) | 8:30 AM | 12:00 PM | 3:00 PM |
| Chile (CST) / Eastern (EDT) | 11:30 AM | 3:00 PM | 6:00 PM |
| UTC | 3:30 PM | 7:00 PM | 10:00 PM |
| Central European (CEST) | 5:30 PM | 9:00 PM | 12:00 AM (+1 day) |
| Australia (AEST) | 1:30 AM (+1 day) | 5:00 AM (+1 day) | 8:00 AM (+1 day) |

During this time, banners on [data.lsst.cloud](https://data.lsst.cloud) will display the most up-to-date ETA for the completion of the work. There will also be a post in this topic shortly after the work is complete.

This is a good time to remind folks to please, _please_ [link a second identity](https://rsp.lsst.io/guides/getting-started/linking-more-ids.html) (or more!) to your RSP account if you have not done so already. It allows you to easily continue to use your account in the event you lose access to your primary e-mail.

Some of you will be at the [Rubin Community Workshop](https://rubinobservatory.org/events/rubin-community-workshop-2026) that day - we will see you there!
