The Salesforce Technology team will begin deploying the Spring ‘23 release at 06:00 UTC on February 14, 2023 / 10:00 pm PT on February 13, 2023. It is expected that the release will be deployed to all instances by the start of business (PT) on February 14, 2023. Until the release is deployed, customers will be unable to create or refresh Sandboxes, create new Scratch Orgs, deploy metadata from their existing Sandboxes to their Production Orgs using Change Sets, or create new second-generation Managed and Unlocked Package versions.

Workarounds are available to create Sandboxes, Scratch orgs and Packages in a limited way on the Spring ‘23 release as described in this Known Issue article: https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p4V000003BIYGQA4&title=spring-23-north-american-sandbox-feature-disruption.

During the deployment of the release, production orgs will be unavailable during the five-minute maintenance window.

The Salesforce Technology team is aware of a feature disruption impacting North American sandbox instances as of 00:23 UTC on February 12, 2023. Customers will be unable to deploy a copy of their sandbox org until they receive the Spring ‘23 release. Teams are working on updating the impacted instances.

We’ll provide an update as soon as additional information becomes available.
