The period when something is at its busiest or most intense.
Contexto cultural
In Tehran, 'زمان اوج' is not just a time, it's a lifestyle constraint. People plan their entire social lives around avoiding it. The character 'Baba Barghi' is a famous cultural icon used in TV ads to warn children and adults about 'زمان اوج مصرف'. During Ramadan, the 'زمان اوج' shifts significantly. The hour before 'Iftar' (breaking fast) becomes the most intense rush hour. Iran has different electricity tariffs for 'زمان اوج' to discourage usage, a fact every household head is aware of.
Use 'Pik' for modern tech
If you're talking to an IT professional in Iran, 'Sā'at-e Pik' sounds more natural than 'Zamān-e Owj'.
Don't forget the Ezafe
Without the '-e' sound (Zamān-e Owj), the phrase sounds broken and incorrect.
