So DeepSeek v4 will cost 2x between 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, Beijing Time.

This is UTC+8 so to get cheaper DeepSeek:

- in London (BST / UTC+1): 11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00.

- in NY (EDT / UTC-4): 06:00 to 21:00, and 00:00 to 02:00.

- in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00.

Subscription plans like OpenCode Go might not even pass down this 2x cost since most customers are EU/US.

> in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00.

I think that’s incorrect. For California (PDT), 2X pricing will be in effect from 6–9pm and 11pm–3am. During PST, the CA windows will be 5–8pm and 10pm–2am.

		> 2X pricing will be in effect from 6–9pm and 11pm–3am that's why cheaper price is 03-18 and 21-23, aka 3am-6pm,9pm-11pm

I don't understand, you say that Deepseek will be more expensive for seven hours a day and then give five hours a day where it's cheaper in London.

11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00 is 17 hours right?

Ahh I'm very sleep deprived, thanks. Parsed 02:00 as 14:00.

I just worked out that that was probably the cause. Hope you're not baking over there.

		Thanks, I'm trying but it's been pretty hot. You guys have it worse though, I was just in London and it was unbearable. At least AC helps here.

That math makes no sense

		Perhaps you read those western times as being the more expensive time windows? They are the cheaper times. I know it can be confusing. But please let me know where my math is wrong.
