There's a good thread here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?threads/reset-times.328801/ I made a comment about time zones down that thread a way because I'm in Australia (Eastern). Most things happen according to US Pacific time. If you don't have daylight saving time then you will (I think) have a consistent reset time, and a daily maintenance down time that shifts by an hour based on whether California has changed from standard to daylight time or vice versa.
Shutdown last for typically 30m - 40m. Not sure what season it changes but when daylight saving change the shutdown time also changes. It moved from 4AM to 5AM a long while ago.
