dsh-plugin-cost
Real-time token cost and budget tracker for DeepSeek Harness web chat UI.
Install
$ pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-costPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Displays per-turn total cost chips alongside assistant messages with hoverable breakdown details
- Provides continuous conversation-level token and cost tracking beneath the composer input box
- Supports real-time streaming cost approximations and budget alert highlights
- Automatically applies DeepSeek peak/off-peak time-of-use pricing models based on message timestamps
- Allows custom price configuration and user-level budget settings via the web settings card
Useful For
- Monitoring token expenditures and API usage costs during interactive DSH chat sessions
- Setting per-turn budget limits to prevent runaway automated agent iterations or context bloat
- Auditing invocation-level costs for multi-step reasoning, tool execution, and context cache hits/misses
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness web UI users
- Developers monitoring API consumption and prompt caching efficiency
- Budget-conscious teams managing DeepSeek API billing
Documented Limitations
- Cost figures are client-side estimations derived from token metrics and pricing rules rather than upstream billing invoices
- Streaming cost estimation during text generation is an approximation based on character count heuristics until the turn completes
- Non-DeepSeek models count tokens but default to zero cost unless customized pricing entries are provided in configuration
