Genshin Impact 3.6 Maintenance: Server Downtime and Compensation

After maintenance starts, players won't be able to play the game for about five hours. Some people might find this inconvenient, but it has happened before with version changes. As a result, you should schedule your playtime around the beginning of the server maintenance.

Genshin Impact officials have also made it a practice to compensate their player base with free Primogems in exchange for time lost due to server maintenance. For each hour that the servers are unavailable, 60 Primogems are distributed. As a result, players may anticipate receiving 300 Primogems in their in-game mailbox.
