dsh-cost-meter

简体中文: README.zh.md

A DSH Web GUI plugin that shows DeepSeek session cost estimates and account balance in the bottom status bar.

Features

In the bottom status bar below the input box (the conversation.composer.dock slot, same row as the live-stats stats line; actual labels follow the UI locale):

stats row · TPS | Flash off-peak 0.05/1.5/4.5 · Today ¥11.52 (5 sessions) · Session ¥0.08 · Balance ¥365.36

• Current model live price: reads the current session's selected model via the session.models RPC and shows its live unit price (order: cache hit / cache miss / output, CNY per 1M tokens, model name bold); peak/off-peak pricing switches automatically; updates within ~2.5s after switching the model in the composer.
• Themed tooltip: hover/focus shows a bubble matching the current theme (--dsw-alias-tooltip-bg) with a per-session cost breakdown, an aligned Flash/Pro price table (bold model names), and the price source with fetch time.
• Today / session cost: prices are fetched live from the official DeepSeek pricing page (api-docs.deepseek.com/zh-cn/quick_start/pricing, CNY per 1M tokens, 1h cache) and auto-follow official changes, covering both deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro; falls back to built-in constants (kept in sync with the official page) when the fetch fails. Pricing auto-selects by effective date (2026-08-17 00:00 Beijing) and peak/off-peak hours (Beijing 9-12, 14-18 peak).
• Per-model billing: the host detects each session's model from session records (request/header events) and computes cost with the matching price set.
• Per-session aggregation: today's cost is aggregated per session (the host scans the zstd multi-frame session files under ~/.dsh/sessions); hover to inspect each session's breakdown.
• Balance: queried every 60s from the official GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance (cached), CNY preferred.
• Balance warning: turns the whole row red when the CNY balance drops below BALANCE_WARN_CNY (default 50).

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/AnakinCao/dsh-cost-meter.git
# restart dsh web

Or no-restart manual mount: put lib + cordis.patch.yml into ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/dsh-cost-meter/, then append to ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: dsh-cost-meter
      name: 'dsh-cost-meter'

Refresh the page once.

Pick ONE method — never mount twice.

API key (required for balance)

Resolved in order (any one suffices):

1. Plugin config config.apiKey (loader entry config);
2. Environment variable DEEPSEEK_API_KEY;
3. DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml (the DSH official credentials file — matched by default).

Without a key the status bar shows "balance fetch failed"; costs still display normally.

Tuning

Constants at the top of lib/client.js (changes hot-apply via HMR in ~0.5s):

• FALLBACK_PRICES — built-in fallback prices when the official fetch fails (flash/pro × legacy/off-peak/peak)
• BALANCE_WARN_CNY (default 50) — balance warning threshold
• MODEL_REFRESH_MS (default 2500) — model polling interval (local RPC, negligible cost)
• REFRESH_MS (default 60000) — balance/today/pricing refresh interval

Host cache: env DSH_COST_METER_REFRESH_MS or config.refreshMs (default 60000ms).

Notes

• Costs are estimates (official unit prices × usage); the authoritative bill is the DeepSeek platform.
• Balance/pricing calls run in the host process (the API key never leaves the browser); routes: /dsh-cost-meter/api/balance, /today, /pricing.
• No token consumption: cost reads local session logs; balance/pricing use account/docs endpoints — no model inference, no billing.
• Uninstall: remove the profile patch insert + delete node_modules/dsh-cost-meter.
