Be aware that Deepseek pricing is now doubled during peak hours, so for the East Coast USA where I am, that means avoid nighttime use. Specifically, prices are doubled during these periods:

• 9:00pm - midnight
• 2:00am - 6:00am

Said the other way, use Deepseek during the day:

• 6am - 9pm (and a little window midnight - 2am)
