dsh-tool-tariff

Anyone running sustained workloads on the DeepSeek API knows that peak and off-peak electricity tariffs directly shape inference costs. Batching heavy jobs during off-peak windows and reserving peak hours for interactive calls can save a meaningful slice of the bill. Yet in practice, figuring out whether you are currently in a peak or off-peak window, remembering the exact next switch time, and checking your remaining API balance are all spread across different tools and require manual look-ups or mental arithmetic.

dsh-tool-tariff folds all of that into a single natural-language conversation. Ask "What period is it now?" and you get the full tariff schedule plus a precise countdown to the next transition. Say "Check my API balance" and the account balance appears instantly (cached for 60 seconds on the host side to avoid redundant calls). Even more useful, it fires an automatic reminder at 08:50 and 13:50 each day (both configurable) so you know a peak window is ten minutes away and can wrap up batch jobs in time. In the Web GUI, a live status badge in the header shows the current time, peak (orange) or off-peak (green) period, a second-precise countdown, and the balance on click. The API key never leaves the host process; the browser speaks to a dedicated RPC channel and never touches credentials.

Who is it for? Developers and ops teams who run production workloads on the DeepSeek API and want to schedule around tariff windows to control spend. With this plugin, electricity bills and API balances shift from after-the-fact reconciliation to real-time awareness—no more context-switching between a terminal, a documentation page, and a dashboard.
