Pokémon Sleep to receive maintenance on August 27th for Version 1.11.0 update, with more QoL and balance changes ahead of the Suicune Research event

Pokémon Sleep will enter a maintenance period early next week on Tuesday August 27th for an update of the software to Version 1.11.0. Unlike previous maintenance periods, this one will take place at a different time, and is expected to run for roughly four and a half hours, from 10:30am until 15:10am (UTC). In addition to preparing the game for the upcoming 2-week Suicune Research event (commencing the following week on September 2nd), the update includes some balance changes as well as the addition of some minor new quality of life features.

Additionally, the official website has announced that a known issue can prevent tracking sleep during the maintenance period. This issue will only occur if the app is updated during 2024/08/27 14:30 to 2024/08/27 16:00. To track sleep during this period, players are encouraged to keep their game version as 1.10.0.
