+## Updating to GitLab 13.9
+
+We've detected an issue [with a column rename](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/322991)
+that prevents regular downtime upgrades to GitLab 13.9.0 and 13.9.1. Zero-downtime upgrades are not
+affected. We are working on a patch and recommend delaying any upgrade attempt until a fixed version
+is released.
