At what time exactly is the maintenance window?

The page says: There is a weekly window for updates and other maintenance tasks on Wednesdays at 5:00PM Pacific (Thursday Midnight, 0:00 UTC)… while Phabricator/Maintenance is a bit more precise: A weekly maintenance allowance is integrated into the deployment schedule for Thursdays 00:00 UTC - 01:00 UTC (Wednesdays 05:00 PM PST - 06:00 PM PST). The problem is that PST=UTC-8 (not -7 !) and PDT=UTC-7 – see en:Pacific Time Zone. I think UTC should be used as the primary time on both pages.

Is the time tied to UTC? Tying to 5:00 PM Pacific (which is sometimes PST, sometimes PDT) and thus having a varying UTC time seems more likely for me, since sysadmins’ work schedule is based on local time, not UTC.

Yes, it's connected to the local time on the West Coast of the United States.
