dsh-usage-meter-harness

When using DeepSeek Harness for conversations or development, users often struggle to track token consumption, spending, and wallet balance in real time, leading to budget overruns or inefficient usage. The dsh-usage-meter-harness plugin addresses this by providing an intuitive real-time metering panel displayed right next to the chat input, enabling dynamic monitoring of usage. It supports both official DeepSeek models (like deepseek-chat) and any custom models registered in DSH (such as OpenAI-compatible interfaces), making cost management seamless.

Its core capabilities include live cost updates, detailed token breakdowns (input, cache hits, etc.), per-turn usage summaries, and flexible budget settings. Users can choose from multiple billing templates—such as basic, cache hit/miss, or peak/off-peak—and customize price rows. The plugin also offers a bilingual interface, in-use locking, and other user-friendly features for a smooth, non-intrusive experience.

This plugin is ideal for anyone relying on DeepSeek Harness for daily interactions, research, or development, especially students, developers, or teams needing fine-grained cost control. Whether you're an individual user or part of a collaborative environment, it helps prevent unexpected expenses and optimize resource use, making AI interactions more economical and efficient.
