Choose the current model, count each token category separately, then apply the price for the window in which those tokens were processed. The table below reflects DeepSeek’s Models & Pricing page as checked on October 27, 2026. DeepSeek identifies deepseek-flash as DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 and deepseek-v4-pro as DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813.

Inside the original README — Document outline
- DeepSeek API Pricing 2026: Calculate Cost by Model, Cache Hits, and Peak Hours
- Use one formula, then split it by time window
- Worked example: one workload, two models, three schedules
- Test the assumptions that can move the total
- Measure cache-hit tokens instead of guessing
- Use off-peak pricing only for work you can actually defer
- Direct DeepSeek or an API aggregator? Verify the billing path
- Build a range now; replace assumptions with usage next
