**Tell us about your request**
We would like to have a simple way to check the status of Fargate task maintenance.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This is forE ECS Fargate.

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
We ultimately want to easily confirm the status of Fargate task maintenance. Currently, as a workaround, we're checking the create time of tasks guided by AWS Support, but this isn't intuitive. Additionally, the AWS Health Dashboard's "affected resources" are not updated, making it challenging to resolve the issue.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Yes, we are addressing this issue by checking the create time of tasks.

**Additional context**
There is related documentation available at the following link:

Research direction

Start by reading the AWS ECS task maintenance documentation linked in the issue and compare it with the current workaround of checking task creation times. Define what a simple way to confirm Fargate task maintenance status would need to expose, and consider whether the AWS Health Dashboard limitation affects the expected outcome. Done means the maintenance status can be confirmed without relying on task creation times.
