Funding schedule
Funding is not charged whenever — it follows each exchange's schedule: most pairs settle at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC, some every 1–4 hours. Two things below: who charges on which interval right now, and the hours when the imbalance built up between payouts usually breaks out.
Who charges when
Computed from live pairs, not from exchange docs: the docs lag behind interval switches

A pair's interval is not fixed: exchanges move heated pairs to more frequent settlement and back once the rate cools. That's why an exchange row usually lists several intervals at once.
The hours events open in
723 events over 9 days of observation
The weekly «day × hour» map opens in about 2 weeks: 168 cells need statistics, and a single week of observation would produce colourful noise that reads like knowledge.
Why it looks like this
A schedule, not a mood
The peaks coincide with the mass settlements of 8-hour pairs (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC). Positions are loaded and closed ahead of the payout, the rate moves hardest right there — and the radar opens events.
What to do with it
A snipe is planned against the payout, not «whenever the alert arrives»: the settlement calendar on the home page shows the next four hours. Off-peak hours are for studying cards in depth, not for sitting in front of the screen.
What this map does NOT say
It's about the frequency of events, not their size: one event in a quiet hour can be bigger than five in a peak one. And it is observed statistics, not tomorrow's timetable — exchanges change pair intervals.
