About this plugin
DeepSeek's API shifted to tidal pricing in August 2026, with peak-hour costs up to 4.5x higher than off-peak rates. Sending a long task at the wrong time can quadruple your expenses. OffPeak acts as a price guard in your chat interface—it intercepts outgoing messages during peak hours, displays a clear cost comparison, and lets you choose to send now or schedule for a cheaper off-peak window. This helps you avoid unexpected bills without disrupting your workflow. It’s ideal for developers and researchers who rely on DeepSeek V4 Flash or Pro for lengthy code, analysis, or writing tasks and want to optimize API costs efficiently.
Use Cases
- Intercept long tasks before sending during peak hours to get a price reminder.
- Automatically schedule messages to off-peak times to save costs.
- Compare peak vs. off-peak prices for informed decisions.
Best For
- Developers who frequently use the DeepSeek API.
- Researchers sensitive to API costs.
- Teams needing to optimize workflow efficiency.
