dsh-usage-meter

English | 中文

Want to see your account balance? Want to know how much a single sentence costs you, without a pile of analytics features? Want to see how much a price hike hits your wallet? This plugin is for you.

It shows your DeepSeek official API balance and the amount spent in the current session in the top-right corner of the interface; hover over the amount to see the details. The price table and peak/off-peak pricing are configurable on the settings page.

UI language: All UI copy follows the language selected in DSH (中文 / English). Switch it live in DSH Settings → General → Language; when unset, it follows your browser language.

Features

• Session header indicator:

  • Balance: calls the official DeepSeek GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance; hidden for non-official APIs / missing key / failed queries.
  • This session: shows the amount used by the current session (CNY, 2 decimals). Hover for details. UI:

• Settings page "Balance / Usage": balance details plus pricing settings:

  • A peak/off-peak pricing toggle. When enabled, every request is priced by the time window it occurred in, giving accurate amounts even when a conversation spans peak and off-peak windows.
  • (Same conversation as above, but with the peak/off-peak toggle on. Pricing the whole conversation with either the peak or the off-peak rate alone would be wrong, because it spans both windows.)
  • Usage is priced by the window at the time the request occurred; only the official API is supported for now. Unmatched models only show token counts, not amounts.

Install

1. Direct install:

Clone this repo locally, then run its install.ps1:

cd <plugin directory>
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1

2. Install via npm:

Run in PowerShell:

dsh plugin --profile web add @hunterchcl/dsh-usage-meter

Requires pnpm and dsh to be installed.

Uninstall

Run uninstall.ps1:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\uninstall.ps1            # keep local data
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\uninstall.ps1 -RemoveData # also delete usage/pricing data

Or via pnpm:

dsh plugin --profile web remove @hunterchcl/dsh-usage-meter

Notes & Limitations

• Usage is a local estimate (based on persisted usage records in the DSH session event log: assistant/chunk and assistant/message), for reference only — not a platform bill; the DeepSeek Open Platform is authoritative.
• Opening a session computes its full historical usage (including records from before this plugin was installed), priced by the peak/off-peak window at the time each request occurred.
• If you later run pnpm install manually in the profile directory, it may clean up local plugin directories not declared in dependencies; if that happens, re-run install.ps1.
• This project is open source under the MIT license. You may freely distribute and modify it, but must retain the original copyright and license text.
