miHoYo promises players a base compensation of 300 Primogems, regardless of maintenance duration. They state that there's a base value of 60 Primogems per hour during the maintenance period. As it's expected to last for five hours, that's where the base value of 300 Primogems originates from.

If it lasts longer than five hours, then players should expect 60 Primogems every additional hour. This compensation is only awarded to those who are Adventure Rank 5 or higher before maintenance begins.

miHoYo states that the rewards will come in via in-game mail. It may take up to five hours after the update is finished for players to receive it.
