3 common reasons that cause "farm maintenance" in PVU
There are three common reasons why you encounter the farm maintenance error in Plant vs. Undead:
1. Newly created accounts
The most common reason new players get the farm maintenance error is that newly created accounts have to wait 1-2 days for their account to be activated.
Try to reconnect to the game after 24 hours to see if the issue is resolved.
2. The game is undergoing server maintenance
Server maintenance simply means that developers temporarily prevent access to the game while they make changes to the game, such as fixing bugs, upgrading servers, or adding new features.
This helps prevent unexpected behavior and also gives them time to resolve any issues that may appear during deployment.
3. It is not yet the turn of your lot to play
Another common reason the farm maintenance error occurs is when your lot is not yet scheduled to play.
Due to the influx of new players, the developers have implemented a "batch planning" system where players are grouped into lots and only one lot can play at a time.
How to fix the 'Farm maintenance' error in Plant vs. Undead
Here are some tips on how to fix the farm maintenance issue in Plant vs. Undead.
1. Check if there is ongoing server maintenance
To fix the farm maintenance error in PvU, you must first determine the exact cause of the problem.
To check if the server is under maintenance, your best bet is to join the server official Plant vs. Undead Discord and consult the announcements channel, or check their Twitter updates .
Developers and moderators are very active in posting updates and announcements regarding the state of the game.
2. Check your batch calendar
If you've confirmed that the game is maintenance-free and you're still getting the farm maintenance error, it's probably not your turn to play yet.
We have created a more detailed on the game's batch scheduling system here .
Unfortunately, there is no way to determine which lot you belong to.
As a general tip, we recommend that you check every hour to see if it's your turn to play.
Depending on the current number of bundles at the moment, you will need to wait 1-4 hours before you can successfully log in and play the farming game mode.
Another trick that helps some players to solve the farm maintenance issue is to clear their browser cache.
Delete cookies (including third-party cookies) in your browser and clear the cache. (Note that this may remove your login sessions and preferences for other web applications.)
You can also try to log in through an incognito window or completely using another browser such as Brave Browser .
4. Login again tomorrow
If you have just created your account and have already tried to log into the game every hour without success, your account may have to wait 1 to 2 days before you can log in.
Come back tomorrow after 24 hours and repeat steps 2 and 3 over and over again until you can finally connect.
