How to Use the Maintenance Reward Predictor
When a game goes offline for scheduled server maintenance, developers typically compensate players with in-game items proportional to the downtime. This calculator estimates how many items you will receive based on the maintenance duration and your game's reward policy.
Most games award compensation in 30-minute increments, rounding down. Enter the planned maintenance length in minutes and the number of items given per 30-minute block. If your game guarantees a minimum regardless of duration, enter that value as well — the calculator returns whichever is larger.
Check maintenance announcements ahead of time and plug in different durations to prepare a range of expected rewards. If maintenance extends beyond the planned time, simply update the duration for a revised estimate.
