ChainThink reports that on August 6, DeepSeek notified its open platform users of an upcoming comprehensive price increase for its API services, with an expected significant rise; specific details and the effective date will be announced separately.
Previously circulated notices indicated that DeepSeek had planned to implement peak and off-peak pricing; during Beijing Time hours of 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, API prices could rise to twice the normal rate.
As of now, the official DeepSeek pricing page still charges a flat rate and has not yet listed peak-time pricing.
