Always Online but for Scheduled Maintenance or Downtime of backends

Benefit

Always Online is a feature that serves archived pages of your site from the internet archive wayback machine whenever you site goes offline.
However this only applies when the site origin is fully offline.

I think being able to manually enable this at free will is a good feature.

A good use case would be for websites that are planned to have downtime for backend maintenance, where backend stuff wont respond during a period of time.
Giving developers the option to show archives rather than what’s on origin is a nicer alternative than showing some downtime page.

Either integrating this into development mode or a new mode like “maintenance mode” would be epic.

Any feedback from the community on this would be appreciated.

Sorry for the sloppy post - hopefully its legible <3
