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:
| State | UTC window |
|---|
| Peak (full price) | 01:00–04:00 |
| Off-peak (discounted) | 04:00–06:00 |
| Peak (full price) | 06:00–10:00 |
| Off-peak (discounted) | 10:00–01:00 (next day) |
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.
