Summary
The update changes the peak/off-peak schedule introduced earlier in August so Saturdays and Sundays use the lower off-peak rate. Weekday peak pricing remains in place, making this a targeted capacity-management change rather than a blanket price cut.
Why it matters
The change shows how model providers are using price signals to manage scarce inference capacity and shift workloads across time zones.
