Unit prices — OpenRouter z-ai/glm-5.3 : in $1.40/M · cache $0.26/M · out $4.40/M
One turn = 12,000 input (30% × $1.40 + 70% cached × $0.26) + 1,500 output × $4.40 ≈ $0.013824/turn
60,000 credits/week × 52 ÷ 12 ÷ 7.512 credits/turn ≈ 34,600 turns/mo
34,600 turns × $0.013824 ≈ $478

Same clock: the CN list is still 5.3% cheaper after the workday discount. Switching storefronts does not change the UTC+8 peak window.

Cross-persona (not a buy-track column): a China buyer on the CN track gets 8.76× workday value; a US-East buyer on the intl track gets 12.00× — because the US workday is all off-peak, not because intl has a looser rule.

CET is pinned at 2h / 0.61×; CEST is 3h / 0.67× (footnote only). US East is 0h in both winter and summer. The retired V2 personal plan billed 3× at peak; current credits plans do not.
