For Off-peak we have terms and definitions in 4 topics. The topics are Accounting, Cellular, Long Distance and Natural Gas.

Off-peak (Accounting)

is not in the period of most frequent or heaviest use: lower rates for telephone calls made during off-peak hours; travelers who take advantage of off-peak fares. See PEAK.

Off-peak (Cellular)

Periods of time during which carriers offer discounted airtime charges. Each carrier designates its own off-peak hours, usually after normal business hours during the week, and weekends.

Off-peak (Long Distance)

This is the time between 7pm and 7am in the U.S. on weekdays (6pm and 6am in some countries) when the cost of phone calls is cheaper because of lower volume. The same as weekend rates or Saturday/Sunday rates. Note that in some countries the weekend rates and evening rates may not be the same as each other though both are always less than the regular rate. Also note that most long distance providers in the U.S. have a flat rate irrespective of day or time of day (though not all!)

Off-peak (Natural Gas)

The period during a day, week, month, or year when the load being delivered by a gas system is not at or near the maximum volume delivered by that system for the corresponding period of time.
