About this plugin
DeepSeek's billing structure has evolved from flat rates to time-of-use pricing, complicating cost visibility. dsh-meter is built to tackle this, transforming opaque bills into an immediate rate dashboard that lets you see the current tariff, countdown, and session total clearly before or after payment.
Seamlessly integrated into the Harness Composer, the plugin displays a concise line of data that instantly reveals the session's financial health. It solves the tricky timezone conversion problem by providing a 24-hour rate strip in your local time, helping you visualize peak and off-peak windows without complex arithmetic.
This is an essential tool for developers and AI assistant builders who demand precise cost control. It offers detailed account balance checks, granular breakdowns of cache hits versus misses, and a static JSON feed for offline pricing calculations, ensuring you always know exactly what your tokens cost.
