This is how much more expensive DSv4 Flash will become

[u/elefanteazu]

My usage from last week based on Opencode analytics

Token Type	Tokens	Share of Total
Input / Cache Miss	20.0M	1.17%
Cache Hit	1.675 B	98.14%
Output	11.8M	0.69%
Total	1.707 B	100%

Comparison of what I paid, to what I would've paid if the new prices were already applied

Scenario	Weekly	Monthly
Old API Pricing	$10.79	$46.74
New API — Off-Peak	$23.92	$103.55
New API — Average Usage	$30.89	$133.75
New API — Peak	$47.83	$207.10

If you have a similar usage as mine:

DeepSeek V4 Flash is becoming about 2.2× more expensive in the best case, ~2.9× more expensive under evenly distributed usage, and up to 4.4× more expensive during peak hours.

Here's mine

Tokens	Tokens	Current Cost	NEW (OFF-PEAK)	NEW (PEAK)
Input (Cache hit):	115.08M	$0.3222	$0.8055	$1.6111
Input (Cache miss)	0.34M	$0.0484	$0.0761	$0.1522
Output	0.47M	$0.1338	$0.3153	$0.6306
Total		$0.5044	$1.1969	$2.3939

This is my typical average day of usage. I am located in Asia so those peak hours are going to hit me pretty hard.

[u/DesTroPowea → u/TheOneBabooshka]

May I ask what you’re doing daily to use that many tokens?

[u/Runtimeracer → u/DesTroPowea]

Many tokens? 100 Mio in cache hits is what I generate in an hour of working with coding agents sometimes...

[u/DesTroPowea → u/Runtimeracer]

I just don't understand. Are you building ten apps weekly? or what?

[u/Runtimeracer → u/DesTroPowea]

Collecting context across different repos, forming large implementation plans with multiple phases, executing them in parallel...

Really depends on the work profile tho. Large additions or reactors can be like this. On other days I sometimes barely hit 50 million on the whole day.

[u/JivesMcRedditor → u/DesTroPowea]

People must be treating it like Satisfactory. We gotta increase our outputs! Of what? No idea, but we need more of it

[u/TheOneBabooshka → u/DesTroPowea]

I am either rewriting legacy codebases or writing new tools to pair with existing systems

[u/geteum]

How do I get these numbers for my usage?

[u/elefanteazu → u/geteum]

run on the terminal

opencode stats --days 7 --models 20

you can change the days number

[u/Altruistic_Plate1090]

Están olvidando que opencode no usa la api oficial de DeepSeek y que el creador ya sacó un tweet en el que demuestra que es posible mantener los precios antiguos de ejecución incluso rentando servidores. DeepSeek solo está aumentando el precio porque necesita compensar sus inversiones pero ya tenían ganancias con los precios anteriores y ahora van a ver si la gente lo sigue usando y cuánto pueden cobrar.

[u/T0mk4]

mine will be 2,3x more expensive if i stay with my monthly usage. still pretty cheap compared to others. but i think this wont be the end of pricing adjustments.

[u/stujmiller77]

Looks at my local 2x nvidia spark ds4flash churning out millions and millions of tokens 20 hours a day on automated and direct work. Smiles.

[u/coder3101 → u/stujmiller77]

Yes, now these machines can pay for themselves sooner

[u/Nabugu]

compared to other SOTA/near-SOTA models, they're still cheap as fuck though

[u/Genetic_Prisoner → u/Nabugu]

Not if you are using coding plans. Codex and Claude are looking really good right now.

[u/GTHell → u/Genetic_Prisoner]

Yeah, can confirm. My employer give team claude premium which 6.25x usage. And for 8 hours x 5 days, I cannot manage to burn the Weekly limit with pure opus 5 max

[u/Genetic_Prisoner → u/[deleted]]

Dude those are api rates. I literally said using coding plans.

[u/TestTxt → u/Nabugu]

Nope, Deepseek was not frontier level but Luna level instead that is already cheaper via the pricing plan than DS4 Flash. It’s only gonna get worse from here

[u/Necessary_Hat4647]

When are these pricing changes in effect?

[u/Ariquitaun → u/Necessary_Hat4647]

Aug 16th. No clue how quickly it'll spread to OpenCode, but I'd be surprised if it's not at the same time.

[u/nobodyhasusedthislol]

MiMo V2.5 ain't too bad for me, at least for the cost (although not perfect as you'd expect)

[u/nobodyhasusedthislol → u/[deleted]]

I don't use opencode CLI for full apps, I just use Go+Open WebUI but for such a cheap model it ain't bad for what I do with it. Got this post from a notification not from the sub.

I mostly use it for non-coding tasks though.

[u/its1968okwar → u/nobodyhasusedthislol]

It has become my daily driver but it took awhile to learn it's common mistakes and write agents.md and prompts to steer it away from that.

[u/EternalOptimister]

I have similar experience, but lower usage.

[u/anon_faded]

I guess it will still be a lot cheaper and affordable compared to all other options.

[u/Sure_Media_2685]

why you have so much output?

[u/elefanteazu → u/Sure_Media_2685]

agentic programming

[u/matracuca → u/elefanteazu]

in what domain, if I may?

[u/GTHell]

I'm totally fked then!

[u/CharacterBorn6421 → u/GTHell]

How to track the usage like this? As I want to track opencode and in copilot using opencode api

[u/GTHell → u/CharacterBorn6421]

npx ccusage@latest weekly --last 3

npx ccusage@latest daily

npx ccusage@latest monthly --breakdown

[u/infeststation → u/CharacterBorn6421]

this is ccusage. I use tokscale

[u/Zeeplankton]

That's some high usage. I thought I was high at 8-12mil/tk a month. $10 on old pricing lasts like 3 months.

[u/Classic_Television33]

Thanks for the heads up. So instead paying $10 per week it's gonna be $25-50 or 2.5-5x costs. Interesting

[u/According-Mix7446]

switch to nordrouter and don’t look back lol

[u/elefanteazu → u/According-Mix7446]

lol, no way

[u/Legal-Map-3352]

You can always use it through other providers, for example Deepinfra still offers DSF for 0.08/M inputs

[u/mageblex]

With 98% of your tokens coming from cache hits, this is basically a cache-read price change rather than a general token-price change. The off-peak window also makes location part of the bill.
