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.

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.

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.

That math makes no sense

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.
