Canonical’s Snap Store will be shutting down for database maintenance at the weekend, meaning users won’t be able to install or update snaps until it’s back online.
The planned downtime is expected to last for four hours, starting on Sunday, 5 July 2026 at 22:00 UTC and ending on Monday, 6 July at 02:00 UTC.
During the maintenance you will not be able to install or update snaps. If there’s an app you’ve been wanting to try, or your IoT or core device runs automated tasks during the affected window, you’ll want to plan accordingly.
For most, the downtime is during the night or early hours, so the impact will be negligible. But for those in the Americas, it is happening at a more inconvenient time. If you’re on that side of the world and encounter issues connecting to the snap store, you’ll know why.
