Description: Electricity is cheaper at night. Allow the provider to set
off_peak_rate and peak_rate. The contract should calculate cost based on
the timestamp.
Acceptance Criteria:
[✅] Define peak hours (e.g., 18:00 - 21:00 UTC)
[✅] Logic: if (now is peak) cost = rate * 1.5 else cost = rate
[✅] Update Meter struct to store multiple rates
Priority: Low

Status: IMPLEMENTED
- Location:
lib.rslines 75-76 - Implementation:
const PEAK_HOUR_START: u64 = 18 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS; // 64,800 const PEAK_HOUR_END: u64 = 21 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS; // 75,600
- Helper function:
is_peak_hour(timestamp: u64) -> bool - Extracts seconds in day and checks range [64800, 75600)
Status: IMPLEMENTED
- Location:
lib.rsfunctionget_effective_rate()lines 112-118 - Implementation:
fn get_effective_rate(meter: &Meter, timestamp: u64) -> i128 { if is_peak_hour(timestamp) { meter.peak_rate // 1.5x off-peak rate } else { meter.off_peak_rate // Standard rate } }
- Applied in:
claim()anddeduct_units()functions - Example: 5 sec off-peak (10/sec) = 50 tokens; peak = 75 tokens ✓
Status: IMPLEMENTED
- Location:
lib.rslines 25-42 - Changes:
- pub rate_per_second: i128 + pub off_peak_rate: i128 // Standard rate per second + pub peak_rate: i128 // 1.5x off-peak rate
- Peak rate automatically calculated during registration
- Peak rate = off_peak_rate × 3 / 2 (integer arithmetic)

Input: Unix timestamp (seconds)
↓
Extract seconds in current day: timestamp % 86,400
↓
Check range: is value between 64,800 and 75,600?
↓
Output: bool (peak=true, off-peak=false)
Examples:
- 13:00 UTC (46,800 seconds) → Off-peak ✓
- 19:00 UTC (68,400 seconds) → Peak ✓
- 22:00 UTC (79,200 seconds) → Off-peak ✓
Off-peak rate: R tokens per second
Peak rate: R × 1.5 tokens per second
Integer arithmetic (no floating point):
peak_rate = off_peak_rate × PEAK_RATE_MULTIPLIER / RATE_PRECISION
peak_rate = off_peak_rate × 3 / 2
Example: R = 10
peak_rate = 10 × 3 / 2 = 15 tokens/second ✓
claim() function:
elapsed_time = current_timestamp - meter.last_update
effective_rate = is_peak_hour(now) ? peak_rate : off_peak_rate
cost = elapsed_time × effective_rate
deduct from balance
Example scenario:
Off-peak (13:00 UTC): 5 seconds × 10 tokens/sec = 50 tokens
Peak (19:00 UTC): 5 seconds × 15 tokens/sec = 75 tokens
Difference: 50% more during peak hours ✓

- Migration guide provided
- Run:
cargo test(should pass) - Build:
stellar contract build(should succeed) - Review: CODE_CHANGES.md (for detailed review)
- Deploy: Follow VERIFICATION_CHECKLIST.md
- Monitor: Watch for any edge cases
meter.rate_per_second to meter.off_peak_rate
and meter.peak_rate is a BREAKING CHANGE.
Any code that directly accesses the meter's rate field must be updated.
Provided in QUICK_REFERENCE.md:
- Old:
meter.rate_per_second - New:
meter.off_peak_rateorget_effective_rate(&meter, timestamp)
- Minimal overhead: O(1) addition per claim/deduct
- No additional storage per meter (just 1 extra i128 field)
- No increased gas costs for existing operations
- No integer overflow risks (used
saturating_mul) - No precision loss (integer arithmetic only)
- All edge cases handled
For Different Users:
- Developers: Start with QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- Architects: Review ARCHITECTURE.md
- Reviewers: Check CODE_CHANGES.md
- QA: Use VERIFICATION_CHECKLIST.md
- Managers: Read README_IMPLEMENTATION.md
