Qoder defines its official daily off-peak window from 14:00 to 00:00 UTC (22:00 to 08:00 CST / Beijing Time UTC+8). During off-peak hours, credit multipliers for models such as Qwen-Coder-Qoder and Qwen 3.8-Max receive steep 50% to 80% discount rate reductions (e.g. 0.25× to 0.5× multiplier), allowing developers to execute long-running repository indexing, automated multi-agent refactors, and test suites with maximum quota efficiency.

▶ What is the Off-Peak Discount for GLM and DeepSeek?

Outside of the designated peak windows, both providers apply an automatic 50% discount (1× standard rate). For GLM Coding Plans, off-peak token usage gives developers 3× more coding capacity per subscription credit. DeepSeek charges $0.22/1M input tokens off-peak ($0.44 peak) for V4-Flash and $0.66/1M input tokens off-peak ($1.32 peak) for V4-Pro.

▶ Are Saturdays and Sundays Off-Peak?

Yes. Weekends (all-day Saturday and Sunday UTC+8) are 100% off-peak for GLM, DeepSeek, and Qoder. Peak hour pricing is completely suspended on weekends, making it the ideal time for developers to batch run large-scale benchmarks, automated code audits, and multi-agent workflows.
