DNS Flag Day, Friday, Feb 1st, 2019

Thu Jan 31 04:10:28 UTC 2019

The best time is usually a Wednesday at Noon or 11:00 in the impacted timezone.  Of course, if the impact is worldwide then that would probably be UT1 :)

The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
