Service operators can’t announce planned maintenance on status pages
Operators of status pages—especially Uptime Kuma users—want visitors to see maintenance windows before they begin, and some also want subscribers notified when maintenance starts or ends. The requests suggest current pages may show maintenance only once it is underway, leaving operators without a built-in way to give visitors advance notice. One signal is an unrelated request for deployment-status badges, so the strongest evidence is specifically about maintenance communication.
For self-hosted service operators. Mentioned from Aug 2021 to Nov 2024 on GitHub.

I'd love the ability to show Planned / "Scheduled Maintenance" notifications on status pages when we know there is a maintenance window scheduled. This way we can schedule maintenance any time in advance and people visiting the status page can see all upcoming maintenance windows so they can prepare
> let users subscribe to a channel/email-notification on the statuspage
