I tried submitting this earlier with a screenshot of the ASIC portal website but it got taken down by the moderator bot as a "low effort" post.

Check out the ASIC portal right now. There are 8 separate downtime events scheduled in this month alone. Each one is several hours.

Seems like a lot of downtime for maintenance.

Is there a reasonable explanation for this, or are they just really bad at internet?

NB Not sure if this is the right community to post to so please advise if it should be crossposted elsewhere.
