…olidays; V4 Pro sunset notice dropped The pricing page changed how the peak/off-peak discount window is defined, and the note that kept DeepSeek V4 Pro alive past its September 14, 2026 sunset date has been deleted from both the pricing page and the first-call page. Both are things developers plan cost and model choice around: the first changes which hours get the half-price rate, the second may change whether `deepseek-v4-pro` is a safe long-term default at all. The mirror is now internally inconsistent on the second point -- `content/en/updates.md` still carries the "we will continue providing V4 Pro after September 14, 2026" wording that was just stripped from the two pages developers actually read to pick a model, while the release note for V4.1-Flash (`news260910.md`) says V4-Pro is being phased out. Someone should decide whether the removal means the extension was made permanent or that the phase-out is proceeding. - Peak hours are now defined as `01:00 - 04:00` and `06:00 - 10:00 UTC`, Monday through Friday, **excluding Chinese public holidays**; everything else -- weekends and Chinese public holidays in full -- is off-peak. Previously the parenthetical only said "all other hours are off-peak", so holidays falling on weekdays were ambiguous. Batch/cron users can now reliably schedule around Chinese holiday weeks; the zh-cn page states the matching Beijing-time window (`9:00 - 12:00`, `14:00 - 18:00`). - The "we have decided to continue providing API services for DeepSeek V4 Pro after September 14, 2026, with billing unchanged" footnote (previously `(2)` on both `quick_start/pricing.md` and `index.md`, en and zh-cn) is gone. `deepseek-v4-pro` is still listed in the pricing table at `DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813` with its concurrency limit of 500, so the model remains available and priced -- but the docs no longer promise it will stay that way. Worth confirming with the docs owners before this is treated as "V4 Pro is permanent". - `top_p` docs were reworded in three places (`api/create-chat-completion.md`, `api/create-response.md`, `guides/thinking_mode.md`, en + zh-cn): "takes effect in thinking mode, but values below 0.95 are raised to 0.95" became "only takes effect in thinking mode, where the effective range is 0.95-1.0: values below 0.95 are treated as 0.95". No behavior change, but "only" and the explicit `0.95-1.0` range make it clearer that any `top_p` you pass in non-thinking mode is discarded. - Fetch metadata churn: `quick_start/pricing.md` and two news pages (`news250325`, zh-cn `news250120`) recovered from the SPA fallback shell and fetched real titles again. Going the other way, `news251201` (DeepSeek-V3.2 Release) failed on 2026-09-20 and is now flagged as serving the fallback shell -- its mirrored content may be stale, and re-checking is cheap. - Remaining diffs are `fetched:` date bumps on the FAQ pages and `llms-full.txt` regeneration; no dsh pages changed.

The pricing page changed how the peak/off-peak discount window is defined, and the

been deleted from both the pricing page and the first-call page. Both are things
developers plan cost and model choice around: the first changes which hours get the
half-price rate, the second may change whether
deepseek-v4-prois a safe long-termdefault at all. The mirror is now internally inconsistent on the second point --
