There will be now nre planet replication diffs created over the next few hours due to planned maintenance.
Once the maintenance has been completed, new diffs will be published which will catch up over the maintenance period.

Maintenance has been completed and replication diffs are being generated again.
The Index of /replication/changesets are not yet re-enabled, but will follow shortly. - Re-enabled.

Thanks for your work on the replication system.
For downstream users that fetch and process minutely replication files: it may be useful to you to know that replication file 7097205 (https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/minute/007/097/205.osc.gz) is larger than usual: it covers a time range of about 1h 42m (2026-05-03T17:32:36Z to 2026-05-03T19:14:33Z), and is 141 MiB when decompressed (more typical files are maybe 50 KiB to 5 MiB).
I mention this because some tools may choke on larger files. I ran into this in OSMCha’s augmented diff pipeline, which froze when trying to build a diff for this change file (augmented diffs tend to be many times larger than the corresponding .osc file, and my not-very-well-optimized Python script hung forever when trying to serialize a ~2GiB XML file to disk 
).
Yes, the larger than normal diff file was expected. The ops group could look at setting an upper-bound maximum for the minutely diffs, but it would require testing before implementation.
