You can read the full statement on the company’s official webpage. To sum it up, Square Enix stopped the auto-demolition counter in the early hours of January 4, 2024. It will resume depending on the situation, and Square Enix will inform everyone once it decides.

When it does, it will resume from before the suspension. This suspension affects all worlds under Elemental Data Center, Gaia Data Center, Mana Data Center, and Meteor Data Center. Square Enix also expresses sympathy to everyone who was affected by the earthquake.
