Today, DeepSeek officially announced an important service optimization plan. In order to further improve user experience and improve service efficiency, DeepSeek decided to launch staggered discounts during the free night hours between 00:30 and 08:30 Beijing time every day. This move aims to encourage users to use platform resources during off-peak hours through price adjustments, thereby optimizing the overall service experience.

According to DeepSeek's official introduction, this staggered discount activity will significantly adjust the price of API calls. Specifically, the price of DeepSeek-V3 will be lowered to 50% of the original price, while the price of DeepSeek-R1 will be as low as 25% of the original price. This price adjustment not only provides users with a more economical choice, but also effectively alleviates server pressure during peak hours and ensures that users can enjoy a smooth service experience at any time.

In addition, DeepSeek also announced that its API recharge service was officially restored yesterday. Previously, due to tight server resources, DeepSeek suspended the recharge function of API services on February 6. The restoration of this recharge service means that users can recharge again to better utilize the various services provided by the DeepSeek platform. This move further reflects DeepSeek's emphasis on user needs and its continued efforts in service optimization.
DeepSeek said that in the future, it will continue to be committed to improving service quality and user experience, and provide users with more efficient, convenient and economical API services. By continuously optimizing platform functions and resource allocation, DeepSeek hopes to create a better user experience for users while promoting technological progress in the entire industry.
