Yesterday I received this email:

We’re temporarily postponing updates to version 24.5

We’re temporarily postponing updates to version 24.5, and your tenant has one or more environments currently scheduled to receive this update.

If you have an environment scheduled to receive an update while updates are postponed, your environment will not be updated automatically, but will be rescheduled to seven days after the originally scheduled date.

You can manage the scheduling of environment updates from the Dynamics 365 Business Central admin center.

So I was wondering why?

Well, actually when you go to your Admin Center, look in the Service health section:

There, click on Service health, and you are redirected to the Microsoft 365 Admin page.

Here look for the Dynamics 365 Business Central service status:

Then you can the the reason:

In this case:

After our investigation, we identified an issue with our update service which could lead to updates becoming stuck. To prevent impact to your environment(s), updates to all versions of Business Central have been postponed.

So nothing to really worry about 😉
