LLM PEAK HOURS & QUOTA OPTIMIZER // FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Complete guide to API pricing multipliers, off-peak discount windows, and global timezone schedules for GLM, DeepSeek, and Qwen / Qoder.
▶ What are the official GLM Peak Hours?
GLM peak hours occur Monday through Friday from 14:00 to 18:00 (2:00 PM – 6:00 PM) Beijing Time (UTC+8 / Singapore Standard Time). During this 4-hour weekday window, models such as GLM-5.3 and GLM-5-Turbo consume quota credits at a 3× multiplier coefficient.
▶ What are the official DeepSeek Peak Hours?
DeepSeek peak hours operate on weekdays across two separate windows: 09:00 – 12:00 (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM) and 14:00 – 18:00 (2:00 PM – 6:00 PM) Beijing Time (UTC+8). API requests made during these peak hours for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 are billed at double (2×) the standard rate.
▶ What are Qwen and Qoder Peak & Off-Peak Hours?
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 are Command Code Peak Hours and Rolling Limits?
Command Code (commandcode.ai) charges DeepSeek models based on time-of-day pricing. Weekday peak hours run from 01:00–04:00 and 06:00–10:00 UTC (7 hours/day), corresponding to 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 UTC+8. During peak hours, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash costs $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens (vs. $0.15 / $0.60 off-peak) and V4 Pro costs $1.32 input / $3.96 output per 1M tokens (vs. $0.66 / $1.98 off-peak). The remaining 17 hours and all 24 hours of Saturday and Sunday are 100% off-peak at half price. In addition, subscription plans (Go, GOAT, Pro, Max) feature rolling 5-hour and weekly credit limits that roll from the first request made after the previous window elapsed.
▶ 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 $0.15/1M input tokens off-peak ($0.30 peak) for V4.1-Flash and $0.66/1M input tokens off-peak ($1.32 peak) for V4-Pro-0813.
▶ What are Xiaomi MiMo Peak & Off-Peak Hours and Token Plan Discounts?
Xiaomi MiMo features an official daily Night Discount rate (夜间优惠时段) running from 00:00 to 08:00 Beijing Time (UTC+8 / Singapore Standard Time), equivalent to 16:00 to 24:00 (4:00 PM – 12:00 AM) UTC. During these night hours, Token Plan credit consumption across supported models—including flagship mimo-v2.6-pro (1.02T parameter omnimodal reasoning model) and mimo-v2.6-flash (309B low-latency model)—is billed at a discounted 0.8× consumption coefficient (20% discount on credit usage). Daytime hours (08:00–24:00 CST / 00:00–16:00 UTC) operate at the standard 1.0× coefficient. The night discount applies 7 days a week across all subscription tiers (Lite, Standard, Pro, Max) and is fully supported in developer tools like OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Claude Code.
▶ Are Saturdays and Sundays Off-Peak?
Yes. Weekends (all-day Saturday and Sunday UTC/UTC+8) are 100% off-peak for GLM, DeepSeek, Command Code, 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. For Xiaomi MiMo, the daily 0.8× night discount applies every night including weekends.
