off-peak rates

Discounted quiet hours

Off-peak rates are reduced prices charged during times of lower demand.

Utilities, transit systems, and service providers offer off-peak rates to encourage usage when their systems aren't strained: Electricity is cheaper at off-peak rates after 9 PM.

The opposite is peak rates, when demand and prices are highest.
