This is simple. When programmers wrote their system they did not foresee such a situation. Probably it tries to connect with the bank, gets no response and shows the default message about "maintenance" because maintenance is supposed to be the only situation when the data are not available.
Since it happened suddenly they can't change the code rapidly. Probably there are not even any programmers at the moment.
I'm not defending Epass here, just explaining how this could happen from a programmer's point of view.
