chicheng-peak

DeepSeek API utilizes a peak and valley pricing model, where costs vary significantly between high-demand and low-demand hours. For frequent API users, failing to distinguish between these periods can lead to unexpected expenses. The chicheng-peak plugin automatically parses official pricing schedules to determine whether the current session is a peak or off-peak period. It renders dynamic, breathing borders on the page edge—highlighted in orange for peaks and blue for valleys—while offering independent, customizable glow effects for input fields to visually communicate status. Beyond visuals, it features multi-channel push notifications, delivering alerts via browser local notifications or platforms like Server酱 and DingTalk exactly when the period shifts. Users can customize alert content, set pre-arrival reminders, and manage trigger conditions, ensuring no cost change is missed. This tool is ideal for developers, research assistants, and anyone mindful of API call costs, helping them switch strategies automatically during peak hours or batch process during off-peak times for optimal resource and cost management.
