Throughout the lifespan on Destiny 2, Bungie has done pretty well when it comes to keeping their word on when servers will be online for a new expansion. Most notably because instead of trying to get the update pushed through overnight, they take an entire day to make sure everything they are adding has no issues. This is exactly how they are treating the maintenance for Lightfall, as the servers will be down for 24 hours straight before coming back up.
