dsh-balance-tide

dsh-balance-tide is a web plugin designed for DeepSeek Harness that helps users monitor their account balance and track peak/off-peak pricing changes in real time. In DeepSeek services, understanding pricing periods is crucial for cost control, especially after peak/off-peak pricing takes effect in August 2026. By adding a live readout row at the bottom of the interface, the plugin visually displays the current pricing status, balance, and countdown, allowing users to access financial information without frequent checks. Its core capabilities include a real-time pricing badge (distinguishing between standard, peak, and off-peak periods), a countdown that ticks every second until the next pricing switch, live balance fetched from the official endpoint, and session cost estimated at current prices. Users can also hover to see detailed price tables, including rate differences between current and next periods, to make informed usage decisions. The plugin integrates seamlessly with DeepSeek Harness, automatically using existing API keys with no extra configuration, and supports both Chinese and English interfaces. This plugin is particularly useful for active DeepSeek service users, such as developers, researchers, and teams, who need to continuously monitor spending and optimize usage timing. For individual users focused on cost efficiency, it provides convenient financial insights, helping to schedule high-resource tasks during off-peak hours and avoid extra costs during peak times.
