 * Hi,
    I got this error while trying to update askimet BRIEFLY UNAVAILABLE FOR 
   SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. CHECK BACK IN A MINUTE.
 * Before the screen went white with the above message, askimet was taking a long
   time to update, after disabling the plugin through FTP, I was able to get back
   in.
 * I was able to update and everything running fine. This happened awhile back also.
   Any idea what could be causing this?
 * Thanks

 * That will typically happen if a plugin update is interrupted or otherwise fails,
   it’s rare though.
 * If it ever happens again, you can fix it following this guide: [https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_clear_the_.22Briefly_unavailable_for_scheduled_maintenance.22_message_after_doing_automatic_upgrade.3F](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_clear_the_.22Briefly_unavailable_for_scheduled_maintenance.22_message_after_doing_automatic_upgrade.3F)
