Pokémon Sleep to undergo maintenance this week for Version 3.6.0 update, with increased limits for Pokémon levels, research ranks, and recipe levels

Commencing Thursday June 25th at 4:00am (UTC), Pokémon Sleep will enter a maintenance period for an update of the software to Version 3.6.0. This update is expected to run for roughly fivehours, continuing through until 9:00am (UTC). In addition to preparing the game for an as-yet-unannounced event, this update also makes major balance adjustments with unlocked Pokémon levels, research ranks, and recipe levels.

Sleep Researchers needing to track their sleep during maintenance should remember to hold off on updating until after maintenance has concluded, and instead just start tracking sleep from the Under Maintenance screen in the app. Please note also that this maintenance begins half an hour before the usual time.
