Standard updates are included in the subscription; custom development or integrations are excluded unless agreed otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Keto aims to limit Planned Downtime to a maximum of 6 hours per calendar month.<br \/>\nPlanned Downtime is not considered Downtime in SLA uptime calculations.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hosting-and-security\">5.
