Wordpress maintenance mode

I'm currently working with a charity who have built a new site in Wordpress. My wordpress knowledge is somewhat lacking. We have a volunteer, who apparently works with wrodpress a lot, doing some SEO work on the site who has installed a number of plugins. We have been receiving a number of complaints from visitors saying to the site that it seems to be in maintenance mode a lot. I don't fully understand how maintenance mode works. Is this something could only be triggered by someone making changes? Is this activity logged in any way? We need to establish if the maintenance mode is being triggered by the volunteer, although he insists it's not him, or by a problem with the site.

Any advice would appreciated?

Wordpress Maintenance

Sometimes, you may have the need to put your website into maintenance mode for upgrades. This would make your website temporarily unavailable to public access. You wouldn’t want errors to pop up when you are running important updates in the background, right?

It is not that only developers can cause this even authors or the people posting posts can cause this issue. REFER: https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/7-mistakes-beginner-wordpress-users-make

He must have been triggered it unknowingly!

This is not logged in anywhere.
