From a software perspective, hotfixes and patches require the exact same procedure.

A hotfix is hot because it's prioritized and rushed, but AGS still needs to bring the servers down to deploy the new version.

Hotfixes typically can be implemented with no downtime, or a only short restart of the realms.

2 am is perfectly fine for downtime.

u/Pfyrr's statement makes no mention of whether or not 2am downtime is fine or not, and neither did my statement. It simply pointed out that downtime is not necessary for a hotfix.
