Practical takeaway

If you’re watching for drops, the only real signal in this sample is the window:

Most common: 15:00–17:59 Pacific
Next most common: 18:00–20:59 Pacific

There is not enough evidence here to treat “weekday” as a reliable schedule, and the $5/$10 amounts do not show a clear time-based rule.
