dsh-peak-cost-mode

DeepSeek API charges double during peak hours, which can significantly increase costs for frequent users. The dsh-peak-cost-mode plugin addresses this by automatically detecting peak periods and switching to an ultra-compressed 'caveman-style' output, reducing token usage and cutting expenses without compromising essential information.

The plugin's core capabilities include real-time peak detection based on Beijing time, seamless injection of compression prompts during peaks, and persistent status badges that show the current mode. It also features a voluntary saving mode, allowing users to manually enable compression outside peak hours for additional savings. All transitions are accompanied by toast notifications, keeping users informed at every step.

Beyond automation, the plugin provides detailed savings metering reports, estimating tokens and RMB saved based on compression ratios and model prices. This transparency helps users understand the cost benefits and adjust settings as needed.

This plugin is ideal for developers, teams, and users who frequently interact with the DeepSeek API, especially those looking to optimize costs without manual intervention. It's particularly useful for projects with high output volumes or during periods of intensive API usage, where automated cost management can lead to substantial savings.
