I built DeepPeak: a VS Code status-bar widget for DeepSeek peak/off-peak pricing
I made DeepPeak, a lightweight open-source VS Code extension for tracking DeepSeek peak/off-peak pricing and optionally monitoring your API balance. It shows: • Current balance and credit breakdown • Peak/off-peak pricing status • Model pricing, including cache-hit and cache-miss rates • Local time, timezone, and the next pricing change • Automatic balance refreshes every 60 seconds No API key is required for peak/off-peak tracking—the pricing schedule works automatically. An API key is only needed to display your DeepSeek balance and credit breakdown. DeepPeak stores the API key using VS Code’s own SecretStorage , never displays or logs the key, and only requests data from DeepSeek’s documented balance endpoint.
