DeepSeek-V4 direct-supply models move to peak/off-peak pricing

Policy & PricingAI · BillingEffective 2026-08-17← Changelog

Starting 2026-08-17 00:00 (UTC+8), DeepSeek-V4 direct-supply models will follow DeepSeek's official pricing policy and move to peak/off-peak pricing. Off-peak rates are only half of the peak rates.

This update affects users calling deepseek-v4-pro-202606 and deepseek-v4-flash-202605 (including active subscription orders). You do not need to make any code changes; billing is automatically calculated based on the call times:

  • Peak hours: 9:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 daily (UTC+8).
  • Off-peak hours: All other hours outside of the peak periods.

If you do not want to continue, you can stop using the service, release resources, or request a refund in the console before the effective date on 2026-08-17.
