Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

Specify a maximum length of time to spend in maintenance mode. After the time is up, maintenance mode will be cancelled automatically.

Sometimes, page caching can cause it to look like your site is online or offline when it really isn't, making it difficult to confirm the state that the site is in. Or perhaps you worry that you might forget to put their site back online: This will help you relax!

For example, suppose you are doing upgrades. In the past, you have only needed to have the site offline for 5 minutes. So set it for 15 minutes max. If you need more time, you can add more time. After you are done your upgrades, you manually put the site back online right away, as usual. But if somehow you don't put site back online (either due to user error or system malfunction), it'll be back up soon - rather than possibly for hours or days.
