I've seen this on services that do CI/CD, but institute a freeze for peak traffic events. In theory, the freeze serves the purpose of increasing capacity, since all services are serving traffic rather than updating software, and increasing reliability, since software isn't changing. However, it can then expose latent memory leaks that weren't visible when the services were cycling all the time.
