Coinbase is planning a system upgrade for both Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase International Exchange on May 23 at approximately 3 pm ET. The good news: trading won’t stop. The less good news: your order status updates might take their sweet time refreshing.
The upgrade falls into the category of routine infrastructure maintenance rather than anything that should prompt panic-selling or frantic withdrawals. Core trading services are expected to remain fully operational throughout the window, though account information refreshes could also lag temporarily.
What’s actually happening
During the upgrade window, users placing trades should still be able to execute orders normally. The catch is that confirmation messages and order status indicators may not update in real time. In English: you might buy some Bitcoin and then stare at a pending status longer than usual before seeing it reflected in your account.
The maintenance applies to both the domestic Coinbase Exchange and its international counterpart, meaning users across geographies should plan accordingly.
