Exchange Downtime

Bot behavior during exchange downtime

Section titled “Bot behavior during exchange downtime”

When a centralized exchange (Binance Futures or HyperLiquid) enters planned maintenance or experiences an unplanned outage, the Aegis bot cannot execute futures orders. The behavior in this state is:

  • Active legs — legs that have open positions at the exchange are held in their current state. The bot does not attempt to close them during the outage.
  • Pending orders — any order that cannot reach the exchange will result in an ERROR alert via Telegram and the affected leg will enter an error state in the dashboard.
  • Recovery — when the exchange becomes available again, the bot resumes normal operation automatically. Price monitoring continues during the outage using on-chain data.

What to do during an outage

Section titled “What to do during an outage”

  1. Check the exchange status page:

  2. Check the dashboard activity log in Dashboard > Analytics for ERROR events related to the affected exchange.

  3. Wait for automatic recovery — Aegis will resume execution once the exchange is back online. No manual action is required to restart the bot after an exchange outage resolves.

  4. If recovery does not happen automatically within a reasonable time after the exchange is back online, contact Aegis support.
