HSR 3.2 Maintenance Time

Honkai Star Rail 3.2 maintenance will start at 06:00 (UTC+8) and last for around 5 hours. Players won’t be able to login to the game during the maintenance period, and must wait for the update to go live first. Hoyoverse will give 300 Stellar Jades as compensation for the server maintenance, which is 60 Stellar Jades per hour.

The compensation will be sent to every player who has a Trailblaze level of 4 or more before April 9th, 2025. Sadly, 300 Stellar Jades won’t be enough for stacked HSR 3.2 banners. If you are short on Stellar Jades, use our HSR codes to load up before the server closes.

Now, let’s take a look at the maintenance start and end times for Honkai Star Rail 3.2:

• Tokyo, Japan (Start) – 06:00 AM JST on April 9, 2025
