Randomize the Daily Maintenance Task start time
Randomize the Daily Maintenance Task start time. When a significant number of servers send a licence key update request to the Key administration server, the key update task fails due to the server overload.

Thank you for your input!
Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

There is a hint in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000066305 already. Why option 1 from that article has not been implemented yet, is not really clear. Since many customers appear to have issues with updating their licenses, I wonder why it is not yet a standard solution (if plesk is not able to handle more connections...).
In addition, I do not consider this a feature but a BUG that should be fixed (rather in a couple of days than years!). Not really understandable, why it takes longer than the next microupdate to contain that one additional line of code. -

As the script uses sh instead of bash this didn't work. Instead use this:
# install_statistics
RANDOM=$(dc -e $(date +%N)' 1200 % p'); sleep $RANDOM; /opt/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /opt/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1 -

Workaround - add sleep $(expr $RANDOM % 180); to the /etc/cron.daily/50plesk-daily file
