Focus Entertainment has announced a Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 downtime today (December 24, 2024). It is scheduled to begin at 5 AM ET (10 AM UTC / 11 AM CET), and last for about an hour, during which time all online-related services will be suspended.
It would seem that a psionic disruption caused by Hive Fleet Leviathan is causing Astropaths to lose their ability to relay messages. As such, the war effort is being hampered, with many Primaris Marines having to pay the ultimate price on the battlefield. For this reason, the Omnissiah has deemed it necessary to allow for a short respite until the psionic disruptions cease.
That said, the developers haven't mentioned if any new content and/or fixes will be added to the game once the Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 downtime today (December 24, 2024) ends.

Will there be any content changes implemented for Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 downtime today (December 24, 2024) once it ends?
Since this is routine maintenance, it is unlikely that any new content will be added to the title. The downtime will be limited to ensuring that the servers run as smoothly as possible in anticipation of the holiday rush. There's nothing like purging Xenos on Christmas morning while manifesting the warmth of superheated plasma rounds flying through the air.
That said, based on the Warhammer 40k Space Marine Roadmap, new content is being developed for 2025. The Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 update 5.0 was likely the last update for 2024. No additional new content is expected this year.
The developers could implement bonus XP once the Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 downtime today (December 24, 2024) ends to celebrate the holidays, but nothing concrete can be said as of now.
