We now provide direct notifications in the rare event of a database update delay
(past 11:59 PM EST on Tuesdays) on our
[service status page](https://status.maxmind.com/). You can subscribe to these
updates by email, webhook, or RSS. To subscribe, click the button in the upper
right of the page. After subscribing to updates, select 'Manage Existing
Subscription' to manage which services you receive updates for. You can deselect
services and servers which are not relevant to you, though you should ensure
‘New Database Update Releases’ is selected.
