17:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
Charleston is not a generic 'US timezone' — Downtown Charleston has its own manners. Tourism never sleeps; offices do. Keep weekday pings inside 08:00–17:00 Eastern. Charleston still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July). The polite window around Downtown Charleston is 08:00–17:00 local. Ask once what hours they actually keep, then honor the answer. Daylight is honest here; if it looks like evening, it probably is.
