Genshin Impact 2.6 will be playable at 11:00 AM (UTC+8) on March 30, 2022. Maintenance will begin on the same day but will occur from 6:00 AM (UTC+8) to 10:59 AM (UTC+8). These times are based on past precedence for recent version updates and when a 2.5 event is expected to end.

It's always slated to last for five hours (at least based on past patch notes). The previous countdown gives a player an idea of when the game will become playable.
In essence:
