Thanks Virendra.

This is the exact kind of analysis and disclosure that makes me
respectful of Google: an explanation that's verbose and honest, rather
than the infamous "one-liner answer" that's become the industry standard
(and often results in more questions than answers).

On the other hand, this does indicate that the outage was caused by
manual human intervention and was not the result of a "ticking time
bomb" so-to-speak.

I think the link Frank provided in his post explains why/how this time
was "chosen" (i.e. operationally this behaviour is considered normal,
while outages of any kind aren't good):
