About this plugin
DeepSeek applies peak-hour pricing during specific weekday windows, yet most clients give you no at-a-glance view of the current billing phase, your remaining balance, or what the turn you just finished actually cost. dsh-peak-balance embeds all three into the dsh-TUI status line: a live peak/off-peak clock with countdown, a provider-aware quota readout that follows the focused conversation, and a per-turn cost figure that ticks in real time while the model is generating and freezes the moment the turn closes.
Beyond the status line, the plugin ships a full-screen /hist token-history grid rendered in the familiar GitHub-contribution style. Hover any day for an input/cache-read/output breakdown, estimated cost, and cache-hit rate; arrow keys walk the grid, and single-key shortcuts cycle metric, time span, and subagent inclusion. During peak hours the status line can transform into a pulsing bordered frame in any of seven colors. All figures are sourced from this machine's session logs: token counts are the provider's own reported values, while costs are rate-card estimates and are labelled as such.
It is built for developers and teams who call the DeepSeek API heavily each day and want billing windows, live balance, and per-turn spend visible in their workflow, plus a glanceable grid that maps weeks of usage, model mix, and cache efficiency at a single command.
Use Cases
- Watch the live peak/off-peak phase, account quota, and per-turn cost directly in the dsh-TUI status line
- Open /hist to scan weeks of token usage, estimated cost, and cache-hit rate in a contribution-style grid
- Enable a pulsing status-frame alert during peak windows so you pause before paying the higher rate
Best For
- Solo developers who call the DeepSeek API heavily and want cost visible in their workflow
- Teams juggling multiple projects who need to track subscription windows or relay credit pools
- Tech leads who want per-day, per-model usage review and custom rate definitions for unrated models
