Fleet Hardware Inventory & Production Over Time

📊 Cross-Referenced EOC & F@H Production Summary (User ID: 1358046)

Custom systemd timer and service units (fah-stop/fah-start — see Fleet Docker Compose Architecture & Hardware Lifecycle) pause the dedicated folding servers (origami, smallpieces, scraps) daily during utility peak and near-peak hours (15:00–00:00 local time — widened from the former 16:00–21:00 window after switching the utility rate plan from TOU-C to EV2-A, which carries "near-peak" and peak pricing between 15:00 and midnight) and restrict the desktop gaming rigs (itztli, foldimate) to overnight folding (00:00/00:01–06:15). Consequently, all five hosts fold simultaneously only during this overnight off-peak window, while 24-hour daily averages reflect the scheduled duty cycle.
