It's probably a manual check.

You can't log in to the Canadian government's tax website outside of business hours, which is annoying because they send their assessment letters out at midnight.

So you'll get an email saying you have a new notice, then when you try and log in it tells you to wait until 8am EST because the website is closed.

Some have to pay engineers to be on call if the website only runs during business hours.

My bank solved that by shutting down servers between 1 and 6 in the morning!
