However, many customers complained on Twitter that they were facing issues even before the scheduled maintenance time.

Not sure why you carry out upgrade during daytime hours. All major IT upgrades/maintenance activities across globe are done post midnight/early morning hours for all major banks, e-commerce, healthcare and other domains.
