If you're wondering if there's a Fortnite downtime today (October 11, 2024), then the short answer is no. Based on official information, the update for Fortnite v31.40 has been postponed to October 12, 2 am ET. Before this, Epic Games had announced that server maintenance for Fortnitemares 2024 would begin at 4 am ET on October 11, 2024.
However, due to unforeseen circumstances, it was delayed and Epic Games mentioned that they would provide an update when possible.
This is what they had to say:
"While we continue final preparations for v31.40, we are delaying the start of downtime by a few hours. We'll provide another update when we plan to take Fortnite servers offline."
A short while ago, Epic Games provided another update confirming that the Fortnite downtime today (October 11, 2024) has been canceled.
"In order to ensure a properly frightful Fortnitemares, v31.40 will go into downtime on Saturday at 2 AM ET. We apologize for the confusion and delay, and will let you know once the update is live."
Why was the Fortnite downtime today (October 11, 2024) canceled? Reasons explored
As per Epic Games' wording, it would seem that the update was not yet fully ready to be pushed out at the given time. This would be due to technical issues. For this reason, it got delayed by a day (which is a good thing).
Rather than Fortnitemares 2024 starting on a Friday, it will now kick off on a Saturday. More players will be able to jump into the game as it will be the weekend.
That said, if the situation changes, Epic Games will provide an update. As of now, they are yet to provide the end time for the server maintenance for the Fortnite downtime that will occur on October 12, 2024.

To summarize
Fortnite downtime today (October 11, 2024) has been canceled and postponed for October 12, 2024, at 2 pm ET. The servers will run as normal until the given time tomorrow.
