dsh-tidewatch: DeepSeek API Peak/Off-Peak Time Slots and Account Balance Floating Panel
dsh-tidewatch is a DeepSeek Harness plugin designed to address request failures caused by API pricing fluctuations and insufficient account balance. It provides a floating card that displays, in real time, peak/off-peak period status, a countdown, and the account balance. Core features include real-time period detection, a Beijing time clock with countdown, automatic balance refresh every five minutes, and a draggable and collapsible interface. The plugin supports two installation modes, persistent and dynamic, and incorporates multiple API key retrieval mechanisms to ensure flexibility. Technically, it is implemented by registering a route via `connection.fetch`, ensuring that the key is processed only on the host side, keeping it secure and never sent back to the browser.

# Introduction Since August 17, 2026, DeepSeek has implemented time-of-use pricing, with off-peak rates at half the price of peak rates. Running the same task during peak hours costs twice as much as during off-peak hours. The challenge lies in the fact that when writing code, you may not remember which tier you are currently in. Additionally, the web interface of DeepSeek Harness (hereinafter referred to as DSH) does not have a built-in feature to display the current tier and the session cost. DSH's philosophy is "everything is a plugin," so this gap in the presentation layer is perfectly suited for a plugin to fill. The dsh-tidewatch introduced below is such a badge: it floats next to the input box, displaying the peak/off-peak status, a countdown timer, and the session cost. # What is dsh-tidewatch?
