How long does Honkai Star Rail maintenance last?

Honkai Star Rail 1.1 is scheduled to release in a few hours alongside Silver Wolf and her Light Cone banners. Players worldwide have been waiting for HoYoverse to add new content to their new globally-appreciated gacha title since it was suffering from a content drought for quite a while.

The company is known for holding extended periods of downtime before launching a major update. It has already made an announcement about the latest one, which can be found on their official social media pages. To summarize, players can expect five hours of downtime before any major launch. This is similar to how things work in HoYoverse's other Gacha title, Genshin Impact.

Additionally, players are scheduled to receive Stellar Jades as compensation for the downtime alongside several fixes.
