   For GLM Coding Plan subscribers, quota consumed via Coding Plan for GLM-5.2 in ZCode is discounted by the coefficients below — the same usage draws down less quota, roughly 1.5x the effective allowance.
   
   Peak hours (14:00–18:00 daily)  3x -> 2x
   Off-peak (remaining 20 hours)   1x -> 0.67x
I wonder whether that is referring to local time, or CST (UTC+8)?

Peak hours are 14:00–18:00 (UTC+8)

Thanks. Those are some odd hours though, why would evening time be peak hours? Usually (in the western world anyway), 9AM - 12PM would be peak hours. Things normally slow down post-lunch, and be its slowest at close-of-business.


I run a corporate AI server and coding peak hours here are 1PM-5PM judging by AI usage stats. My guess is that people spend 9AM-12PM in meetings and at lunch, and the actual coding starts around 1 PM.


Because westerners are using it is my guess and for them that's right in your window


They're peak hours in Beijing
