I’m going to have a guess and suggest that the website is probably integrated with some much older mainframe system and a batch process or several batch processes run daily overnight to shuttle data between the two systems to keep them updated and in sync.

Syncing the two sets of data while the database is live and changing is a pain the the bum, so they freeze it while the data transfers are taking place.

Someone didn’t read the story. This is about a known firmware fault that the company is doing its best not to keep quiet. Don’t help them in that work

No. That’s like saying the UK has too much wind power because our prices occasionally go negative. What Germany might not have enough of is battery and other storage

From the article:

If Caitlin did want to try to get the original amount back, she’d have to email and send the death certificate to a specific email address

Did she try - you know - doing that?
