dsh-cost

When using the DeepSeek API for conversations, users often struggle to track costs in real-time, as official billing is delayed and opaque, leading to budget overruns. The dsh-cost plugin addresses this by calculating expenses instantly and displaying a badge next to the input box for clear visibility. Its core capabilities include session-level persistent accumulation, where cost calculations are independent of browser tabs and remain accurate across page turns or context compressions. It features DeepSeek-specific pricing, distinguishing between cache hits, misses, and other scenarios, while automatically adapting to peak/off-peak hours and multiple currencies. Privacy is prioritized—no API keys are read, and no external requests are made, ensuring all computations stay local. This plugin is ideal for developers and users who rely on the DeepSeek API, especially those needing fine-grained cost control, valuing privacy, or using the DSH platform and seeking seamless cost tracking integration.
