dsh-plugin-balance

Developers who call the DeepSeek API frequently often only check their balance and bill after the fact, by which point the exact token spend and cache performance of that session are hard to reconstruct. dsh-plugin-balance solves this by adding a balance button right next to the native Session log control in the conversation header. Click it to reveal a dropdown with two panels: your account balance (total, top-up, and gift credits) and a real-time breakdown of the current session—input tokens (cache hit vs. miss), output tokens, cache hit-rate progress bar, and an estimated cost calculated from DeepSeek's official peak and off-peak pricing table. Pricing auto-syncs every six hours via ETag conditional requests and adapts to Beijing-time peak windows automatically; no extra setup is needed beyond the API key already configured in DSH.

This plugin is well suited for anyone using DSH with DeepSeek for coding assistance, batch generation, or long-running agent workflows who wants at-a-glance cost visibility without leaving the chat. It is also handy when sharing a team account (quickly spotting a low-balance state) or when comparing spend between v4-flash and v4-pro on equivalent tasks. The figures are estimates for reference; the authoritative bill remains on platform.deepseek.com.
