Two days on
DeepSeek’s reprieve footnote is still on the page, and the resale markup is still there too
DeepSeek’s pricing page still carries footnote two, read again on 16 September, continuing V4 Pro “with the billing method remaining unchanged”.
The off-peak rate is still $0.66 per million input tokens and $1.98 out, and the change log’s newest entry is still 10 September. OpenRouter’s dated slug bills $0.983 in this morning, half as much again as DeepSeek’s own rate. Its batch tier is the same as DeepSeek’s own figures, so the batch tier is the cheap route through the reseller.
What it changes If you buy V4 Pro through OpenRouter and can wait, the batch slug costs what DeepSeek charges directly.
