README

deepseek-peak-pricing-hours

Visual indicator showing DeepSeek API peak pricing hours. Peak windows are defined in Beijing Time, but all times shown are converted to your local timezone.

Peak hours: 9:00–12:00 & 14:00–18:00 Beijing Time (UTC+8) — i.e. 01:00–04:00 & 06:00–10:00 UTC; off-peak tokens are billed at 50% of the peak rate.

On weekends (Saturday & Sunday, Beijing Time) the peak/off-peak division doesn't apply at all: all calls made during the day bill uniformly at the off-peak rate.

What it does

  • Renders a 24-hour bar below the editor showing peak vs off-peak hours
  • Shows a colored current-state diamond + label (◆ DeepSeek PEAK or ◇ DeepSeek Off-Peak)
  • Displays the next transition time in your local timezone
  • Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds and at session start

Toggle the widget on/off with /ds-peak.

Install

pi install npm:deepseek-peak-pricing-hours

Then restart pi, or run /reload.

How it works

The bar uses block characters to visualize DeepSeek's two daily peak windows (weekdays only):

Peak Window Beijing Time (UTC+8) Displayed in
Morning 09:00 – 12:00 Your local time
Afternoon 14:00 – 18:00 Your local time
Weekend (Sat & Sun) All day — flat off-peak, no peak windows apply Your local time
Character Meaning
█ Peak hour (warning color)
░ Off-peak hour (dim) — on weekends, every hour renders as off-peak
◆ Current peak hour (bright warning/error color, bold)
◇ Current off-peak hour (accent color)

On weekends the status line stays green (Off-Peak) for the whole day, and the next-transition caption points at Monday 09:00 Beijing time.

The bar collapses to 2 hours per character when narrow, and hides entirely in very tight spaces.
