Note

Megaport sends maintenance event notifications directly to managed accounts supported by Megaport. For partner-supported managed accounts, your partner will communicate with you regarding any maintenance events that affect your account. Megaport sends security and people notifications directly to anyone impacted.

Megaport sends Service email notifications once per hour.
