I have not seen the official deepseek communication to this effect.

So DeepSeek v4 will cost 2x between 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, Beijing Time.

This is UTC+8 so to get cheaper DeepSeek:

- in London (BST / UTC+1): 11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00.

- in NY (EDT / UTC-4): 06:00 to 21:00, and 00:00 to 02:00.

- in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00.

Subscription plans like OpenCode Go might not even pass down this 2x cost since most customers are EU/US.

For Berlin time (Germany, UTC+2, CEST), the 2x cost period is 03:00 - 06:00, and 08:00 - 12:00.

08:00 - 12:00 would have really hurt if prices were not ridiculously low to begin with.
