dsh-peaktime-clock

A corner clock for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI that tells you, at a glance, whether DeepSeek API calls are currently peak-priced (peak time) or off-peak — without leaving your chat window.

An animated DeepSeek whale floats in the bottom-right corner of the harness UI. The whale and the pill behind it turn red during DeepSeek peak-time windows and green during off-peak windows, and the pill shows a live countdown to the next window boundary plus a local-time readout.

Price windows

DeepSeek's official pricing windows are defined in UTC:

The widget classifies the current moment in UTC (so it is always correct) and renders local time and the countdown in your machine's timezone (via the browser's local time, DST-aware). No configuration needed.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-peaktime-clock

Restart DeepSeek Harness after installation, and the whale appears in the bottom-right corner of the web UI.

The package is listed on the 1024 Store; when it is published to npm the store shows the install command above. Until then you can install the bundle from this repository with dsh plugin --profile web add github:tingao/dsh-peaktime-clock or add the folder as a file: dependency in your profile's package.json.

What it shows

• Whale color / badge — red PEAK or green OFF-PEAK, live.
• Countdown — time until the next pricing-window boundary (for example 1h 23m or 04m 12s).
• Tooltip — current window, its UTC range, the fixed daily schedule, and the exact local date/time with your UTC offset.

Everything runs locally in the browser; no network calls, no telemetry.
