How to read the status

The Peak / Off-Peak status is determined by UTC time, not local country time. So hovering any country shows the same status — only the local time differs.

For Indonesia (WIB/WITA/WIT)

Peak converted to Indonesian time:

  • WIB (UTC+7): 08:00–11:00 & 13:00–17:00
  • WITA (UTC+8): 09:00–12:00 & 14:00–18:00
  • WIT (UTC+9): 10:00–13:00 & 15:00–19:00
  • Mon–Fri • Weekends are always off-peak

Saving tip: run large batches during off-peak to cut costs by 50%.

Frequently asked questions

What are the DeepSeek API peak hours?

DeepSeek API peak hours are 01:00-04:00 UTC and 06:00-10:00 UTC, Monday to Friday. During peak hours you are billed the full rate. Every other hour, plus all of Saturday and Sunday, and every China public holiday, is off-peak and billed at half the peak rate.

What time is DeepSeek peak hour in Indonesia?

Peak hours in Indonesia are 08:00-11:00 and 13:00-17:00 in WIB (UTC+7), 09:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00 in WITA (UTC+8), and 10:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00 in WIT (UTC+9). All times are derived from the UTC peak window, so they do not change with daylight saving time.

How much cheaper is the DeepSeek API during off-peak?

Off-peak pricing is exactly half the peak price for all three billing components: input cache-hit tokens, input cache-miss tokens, and output tokens. Scheduling non-urgent batch work into the off-peak window therefore roughly halves the cost of the same request.

Are weekends and China public holidays off-peak?

Yes. All of Saturday and Sunday (UTC) are off-peak, and every China public holiday is treated as a full-day off-peak period. Because of this, off-peak can run for well over a week straight, for example the 1-7 October 2026 National Day holiday.

What does the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash API cost per 1M tokens?

During off-peak hours DeepSeek V4.1 Flash costs $0.003 per 1M input cache-hit tokens, $0.15 per 1M input cache-miss tokens, and $0.60 per 1M output tokens. During peak hours those rates double to $0.006, $0.30, and $1.20 respectively.

What does the DeepSeek V4 Pro API cost per 1M tokens?

During off-peak hours DeepSeek V4 Pro costs $0.022 per 1M input cache-hit tokens, $0.66 per 1M input cache-miss tokens, and $1.98 per 1M output tokens. During peak hours those rates double to $0.044, $1.32, and $3.96 respectively.
