Downtime is any period during which a system is unavailable to serve requests, whether from an outage, a failed deploy, or scheduled maintenance.
Planned vs unplanned
SLAs usually distinguish planned maintenance windows (announced, excluded) from unplanned downtime (counted against the availability target).
