dsh-peak-reminder

The DeepSeek API gets slower and more expensive during its daily peak windows (9:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 Beijing time). If you build on top of that API for development, writing, or debugging, it is easy to stumble into a peak window without noticing and end up with longer waits and higher costs. dsh-peak-reminder closes that information gap: it does not rewrite your prompts or force shorter responses — it simply tells you what time period you are in, how soon the peak starts, and how much balance is left.

The plugin is deliberately restrained in scope and offers three pieces. A small status badge sits in the lower-left corner at all times: a red indicator means you are in a peak window ("Li Wenfeng"), a green one means you are in an off-peak window ("Li Wengu"). Before the peak begins — ten minutes ahead by default, fully configurable — a notification bar slides in from the lower-right and fires a system notification; both the title and the message text are editable. Just above the badge, a balance card refreshes the DeepSeek API credit every five minutes and turns red when the amount drops below a user-set threshold (2 yuan out of the box). The API key is always read server-side through the dsh credential system and never appears in the browser or in the plugin source code.

If you value a heads-up before the API slows down, want a quick glance at remaining credits, and prefer that no plugin quietly changes your workflow, this notify-only, never-enforce little badge is built for exactly that kind of setup.
