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.

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.
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.
Frequently asked
When is funding charged?
At the settlement cutoff — whoever holds the position at that exact moment pays or receives. 8-hour pairs settle at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC; pairs on 1–4-hour intervals settle more often. Who charges on which interval right now is in the table on this page.
Why does almost the whole market settle at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC?
The market's base interval is 8 hours, and its cutoffs align to midnight UTC on every exchange. So those three hours see mass settlements, while the hours in between belong to shortened-interval pairs and Hyperliquid with its hourly accrual.
How often do exchanges change a pair's interval?
The interval is a property of the specific pair, and exchanges shorten it without notice as a pair heats up: from 8 hours to 4, 2, even 1. The table on this page is computed from live pairs in the latest poll, not from exchange docs — the docs lag behind the switches.
