dsh-save-money
Save-money plugin for DSH (DeepSeek Harness) — define your own "pause / resume" time windows; at pause time running long tasks are paused (not stopped) automatically, and they resume when the window ends. Built for LLM API peak/off-peak pricing (e.g. DeepSeek peak hours 9:00–12:00, 14:00–18:00 Beijing time, off-peak at half price), and equally useful for time-of-use electricity rates, bandwidth off-peak shifting, or any "I don't want the machine working during this period" scenario.
Status: ✅ Implemented, continuously maintained. 中文版
Interface
The colored status text in the top-right of the session header (Save · ⚪/🟢/🟡/🔴, color follows the state) is the single persistent entry — click it to open the settings popover. When a pause is upcoming or active, a reminder banner appears at the top of the page (with the End this save mode button).
With "Show balance" enabled, your official DeepSeek account balance appears next to the status text; clicking the balance opens the last-8-hours spend bar chart:
Each bar is a 10-minute window: the X axis shows whole-hour ticks, the Y axis key-point amount ticks (≤5, with gridlines), and hovering shows each window's exact time range and amount. Windows where the balance dropped without any local activity are marked in warning color (changes may come from another device).
Features
- Multiple time windows: add / remove pause-resume windows freely; supports midnight-crossing windows (23:00–08:00) and per-weekday filtering;
- Automatic pause on schedule: when the pause time arrives, running tasks are safely "frozen" (their progress is preserved exactly — nothing is interrupted or lost) and resume automatically when the window ends; if nothing is running, nothing is paused;
- No requests during the window (the saving core): inside a pause window the AI sends no new requests to the model service, so no cost is incurred; after the window ends (or on disable / end-this-window) everything resumes, with conversation context and in-flight tasks unaffected. The AI not replying inside a window (including new conversations) is expected — to resume right away, click the End this save mode button (takes effect directly, no AI involved);
- Per-model-tier save mode: decide per model tier which ones pause during windows. The settings panel shows two compact rows — Official API: flash / pro and opencode go·zen API: flash / pro — four toggles total. Checked = paused (saving money); unchecked = exempt (requests flow even during a window). Defaults: official flash + pro checked, opencode exempt; your changes are persisted and never reset. Any unrecognized model (legacy
chat/reasonernames, other third parties, anything else) is always exempt — it can never block your requests; - End this save mode (one-shot, current window only): the banner and settings-popover button end the currently active pause window only — if paused, tasks resume immediately and the gate opens; if a pause is upcoming, it is cancelled. The window is skipped until its resume time, then the state clears automatically. The next window (today or later) still takes effect, and the persistent Enable flag is never touched, so you cannot accidentally leave the feature disabled;
- UI reminders: top floating banner (light yellow for upcoming pause / light red for paused, with the End this save mode button) + the single persistent session-header entry (next to the Session log, "Save · 🟢 Working" colored status text; click to expand settings), colors follow the state in real time;
- Timezone support: IANA timezone dropdown, browser auto-detection with Beijing time (+8) fallback; UTC projection checked (Beijing 09:00 == UTC 01:00);
- One-click DeepSeek preset: dedupe-append the peak windows (08:58–12:02, 13:58–18:02, with a 2-minute boundary margin — pause 2 min early, resume 2 min late); it does not auto-enable — your call; legacy no-margin windows are upgraded automatically on one-click;
- Persistent config: all settings are saved automatically to the workspace file
save-money.config.json(gitignored); configuration survives browser refresh and plugin disable/re-activate, and is loaded on startup with optional reconciliation of paused goals; - Account balance display (optional): tick "Show balance" in settings and your official DeepSeek account balance appears next to the status text in the header (automatic currency symbol, theme-adaptive color). Off by default. With several model sources configured (official DeepSeek + SiliconFlow, relays, …) the balance follows the model actually in use: it is shown while the latest real request runs on the official provider and hidden otherwise (the sampled spend history is kept, so switching back to DeepSeek re-shows the balance immediately);
- Spend statistics: with the balance display enabled, the backend samples the balance every 5 minutes (288 points covering the last 24 hours). Hover the balance to see how much was spent in the last 1 hour / 10 minutes / 24 hours (balance increases from top-ups or refunds show as "+amount");
- Spend bar chart (last 8 hours, per 10 minutes): click the balance to open a chart of the last 48 ten-minute windows. External-spend attribution — a window where the balance dropped without any local model activity is marked with a warning color (hover: "no local activity in this window; change may come from elsewhere") instead of being reported as local consumption, so using the same API key from another machine never looks like a one-second spend explosion. Balance top-ups (recharges / refunds) are never drawn as bars and never stretch the Y axis — the axis stays spend-only; a hidden top-up window shows a "balance recovered (recharge / refund), not counted in spend analysis" note on hover;
- Persistent balance history: sampled history is saved to
~/.dsh/dsh-save-money-balance.json(account-level, shared across projects) and survives plugin updates/restarts. The file is keyed by a fingerprint of the API key — changing the key discards the old history automatically; - Non-intrusive by design: no screen lock, no overlay blocking, no user action prevented — only the automatic continuation of goals is paused; manual interaction always flows.
How it works
stateDiagram-v2
direction TB
[*] --> Disabled
Disabled : Disabled ⚪ — nothing pauses, no money saved
Working : Working 🟢 — normal use, requests flow
Pausing : Pausing soon 🟡 — yellow banner reminder
Paused : Paused 🔴 — requests suspended, no cost
Disabled --> Working : check "Enable"
Working --> Pausing : a window starts within 5 minutes
Pausing --> Paused : pause time reached
Paused --> Working : window ends, auto-resumes
Paused --> Working : "End this save mode" — resume now
Pausing --> Working : "End this save mode" — cancel this pause
Working --> Disabled : uncheck "Enable"
Pausing --> Disabled : uncheck "Enable"
Paused --> Disabled : uncheck "Enable"
- When a pause window starts, running tasks are frozen (progress preserved) and the AI stops replying — that is normal: the machine is saving you money. Everything resumes automatically when the window ends;
- See the yellow "pause in X min" banner but don't want to pause right now? Click End this save mode to cancel this window only;
- Paused and want to continue immediately? Click End this save mode (red button) — it resumes right away, skips only the current window, and never turns off Enable: the next window (today or later) still saves money as usual. If you ever want every window to take effect again, uncheck and re-check Enable.
Install
The official DSH plugin form is a module exporting apply + cordis.yml mounting (see the DSH official tutorial). You can install from npm (one command, recommended) or build from this repository (three options below: --patch quick try, distributable bundle, or the link + HMR development workflow). Every official form ships the full plugin: Host logic (scheduling, gate, goal freeze, tools, HTTP endpoints) and the browser UI (status text, banner, settings page), which loads automatically — no AI-assisted setup needed.
Install from npm (recommended)
The plugin is published to npm — one command installs it into your Web profile:
First-time install
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-save-money
Remove
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-save-money
After installing, fully restart DSH (Ctrl+C, start again) and hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) — the "Save" status text appears top-right in the session header.
Source install (build from this repo)
Using ~/app/ as an example directory (each step assumes the previous one succeeded):
cd ~/app/
git clone https://github.com/zhu168/dsh-save-money.git
cd dsh-save-money
npm install
cd plugin
npm pack # runs the build automatically; produces the plugin tarball
ls # check the tarball name, e.g. dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz
cd ~/app/deepseek-harness # change to your harness directory (clone it first if missing — see "0." below)
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-save-money # only if you installed it before; skip if you haven't
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add ../dsh-save-money/plugin/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz # use the name from `ls` above
pnpm dsh --profile web # starts DeepSeek Harness — the plugin appears top-right in the session header
Two notes: ① the tarball name on the
addline must match whatlsprinted (1.4.0is just an example); ② if your harness runs via npx, replace everypnpm dshabove withnpx @deepseek-ai/dsh(install commands too).
0. Run DSH itself first
The plugin runs inside DSH, so DSH must run before anything below. Two ways:
A. Installed CLI (easiest, needs Node.js):
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web # starts the Web UI at http://127.0.0.1:3080
B. From source (e.g. on a Raspberry Pi; dsh is NOT a global command — you must run pnpm dsh inside the checked-out deepseek-harness directory):
git clone https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness.git
cd deepseek-harness
pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm dsh web # inside this directory only
In source mode, never type bare
dsh ...— it is not on PATH (command not found: dsh). Usepnpm dsh ...from thedeepseek-harnessdirectory, or./node_modules/.bin/dsh ....
Path 1: --patch quick try (official, loads local source)
Good for trying the plugin on the same machine where you keep this repository.
(Optional) Rebuild the latest plugin module — a fresh clone needs the build deps first:
npm install # first clone: installs typescript and friends npm run prepare # one step: src/*.ts -> dist/*.js -> plugin/index.js + plugin/client.jsEdit
cordis.patch.yml, replacing<REPO_ROOT>with the repository's absolute path (it is the only placeholder in the file — use your editor's "replace all"):- insert: - id: save-money name: '<REPO_ROOT>/plugin/index.js'Examples — Windows:
name: 'D:/git/github/dsh-save-money/plugin/index.js'; Linux / macOS / Pi:name: '/home/pi/dsh-save-money/plugin/index.js'.If your profile already has the plugin installed via bundle / link, skip Path 1 (stacking
--patchwould register the plugin twice).Start with the overlay:
dsh web --patch ./cordis.patch.yml # globally installed dsh npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web --patch ./cordis.patch.yml # npx-launched (Step 0, option A) # from source: pnpm dsh web --patch ./cordis.patch.ymlOpen the browser at the printed URL (default http://127.0.0.1:3080) — the "Save" status text appears in the session header top-right. No extra step needed.
Path 2: bundle + dsh plugin add (official, distributable — recommended for another machine / the Pi)
The bundle is a small .tgz that you build once and install anywhere. You do not clone this repository on the target machine — DSH installs the plugin into its own profile (~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/).
Step 1 — build & pack the bundle (on any machine with this repository):
cd dsh-save-money
npm install # first clone only (typescript dev dependency)
cd plugin
npm pack # runs the prepare build automatically; produces dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz
plugin/ is the standard bundle layout: package.json declares dsh.bundle.patch + dsh.client, cordis.patch.yml inserts the plugin row, index.js is the Host module and client.js the browser UI bundle.
Step 2 — copy the tgz to the target machine (scp / USB stick / however you move files; run this on the build machine, one directory above the repository, adjusting the path to yours):
scp dsh-save-money/plugin/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz pi@<pi-ip>:~/
Step 3 — install into a profile (on the target machine; first run initializes the profile with @deepseek-ai/dsh-base):
# DSH run from source (inside the deepseek-harness directory):
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add ~/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz
# npx-launched (Step 0, option A) or globally installed dsh: works from any directory
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add ~/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz
Both commands do the same thing: install the tgz into
~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/. Use whichever matches how you start DSH.
Git install also works: dsh plugin --profile web add github:you/dsh-save-money#<sha> (git install requires prepare builds and allowBuilds, see the DSH publish tutorial).
Step 4 — verify the layer mounted, then start (fully restart DSH, don't just refresh the page):
pnpm dsh --profile web --dump-config # the output should show a dsh-save-money layer (its plugin rows)
pnpm dsh --profile web # Ctrl+C to stop an already-running instance first
Step 5 — open the browser at http://127.0.0.1:3080 and hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R). The "Save" status text appears in the session header; click it for the settings. You can also confirm the plugin is live from a conversation (save_money_status).
Upgrading to a newer version (e.g. 1.3.0 → 1.4.0):
The commands below use
pnpm dsh; if you launched DSH via npx, replacepnpm dshwithnpx @deepseek-ai/dsh.
# on the build machine:
cd dsh-save-money && git pull && cd plugin && npm pack # fresh dsh-save-money-<new>.tgz
scp dsh-save-money/plugin/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz pi@<pi-ip>:~/
# on the target:
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-save-money
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add ~/dsh-save-money-1.4.3.tgz
pnpm dsh --profile web # restart, then hard-refresh the browser
Your settings survive upgrades (they live in save-money.config.json, untouched by remove/re-add).
Uninstalling:
pnpm dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-save-money
Path 3: development workflow (what this repository actually uses: link install + HMR hot reload)
Changes take effect immediately — no DSH restart and no tgz needed. This is the form used while developing the plugin: dsh plugin add link: links the plugin/ directory straight into the profile, and a cordis-plugin-hmr hot-reload plugin watches the build output. Save the source → npm run prepare → the running DSH hot-swaps the new plugin; hard-refresh the browser to see the client UI.
One-time setup (on the development machine):
Build and link-install:
cd dsh-save-money npm run prepare # src/*.ts -> plugin/index.js + plugin/client.js pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add link:D:/git/github/dsh-save-money/plugin # use your repository's absolute pathConfigure hot reload: edit
~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml(create it if missing) and replacerootwith your repository'splugindirectory absolute path:- insert: - id: save-money-hmr name: '@deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-hmr' config: root: ['D:/git/github/dsh-save-money/plugin'] ignored: ['**/node_modules', '**/.*'] debounce: 100Start DSH (
pnpm dsh web/npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web) and open the browser (default http://127.0.0.1:3080).
Daily dev loop:
# after editing src/*.ts, run once:
npm run prepare # rebuild -> writes plugin/index.js + plugin/client.js
DSH hot-replaces the plugin within ~0.1s (look for [hmr] logs in the terminal) — no restart; hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) to see client-side changes.
Note:
link:and the Path 2 bundle install are mutually exclusive — if you installed the bundle before, runpnpm dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-save-moneyfirst, thenadd link:.
Config persistence (all forms)
The plugin writes its settings to save-money.config.json (excluded by .gitignore, never committed): loaded automatically at startup, persisted immediately on every change. The config file location is resolved at runtime by walking a candidate list — the first directory that actually contains a config file wins:
- the directory recorded by the pointer file
~/.dsh/save-money-config-path.json(the last real location, so a restart resolves the same file even when no session matches); - the current session's workspace directory;
- every session workspace whose path ends in
dsh-save-money(the newest one wins when several exist); - the DSH startup directory itself (
process.cwd(), official install form); - a
dsh-save-moneydirectory sibling to the DSH startup directory (the README quick-install layout:~/app/deepseek-harnessnext to~/app/dsh-save-money); - final fallback:
sandboxPolicy.workspaceRoot(the DSH install dir).
On a fresh install (no config anywhere) the plugin prefers to write the config into the repo directory (the dsh-save-money dir matched by step 4/5) instead of polluting the DSH install dir, and records a pointer in ~/.dsh/ so every later restart loads the same file. Deleting the config file resets all settings.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause & fix |
|---|---|
zsh: command not found: dsh / dsh: command not found |
You are running DSH from source — dsh is only available inside the deepseek-harness directory as pnpm dsh ... (or ./node_modules/.bin/dsh). Never use bare dsh outside it. |
Plugin fails to load with ReferenceError: harness is not defined |
You are running a build older than v1.2.2 — the official form was fixed in v1.2.2. Rebuild (npm run prepare), re-pack, reinstall, and restart. |
| Installed but no status text / banner / settings page | Fully restart DSH (Ctrl+C, start again) and hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) — the Client half is discovered at startup. If it still does not appear, you are running a build older than v1.2.4 — upgrade. |
| UI shows but the Enable checkbox (and other settings) do nothing | You are running a build older than v1.2.5 — the plugin used to start before the Web server was ready, so UI requests could not reach it. Upgrade to ≥ v1.2.5 and restart. |
| Where is my config file? | Resolved automatically from the 6-step candidate list above (session workspace / repo dir preferred; ~/.dsh/save-money-config-path.json records the last location). Deleting it resets all settings. |
Quick start
The steps below apply to every install form — Path 1 / Path 2 / Path 3 all ship the same settings UI. You can also configure through the tools in a conversation (
save_money_configure,save_money_status).
- After install and activation, click the "Save · 🟢 Working" status text in the top-right of the session header (next to the Session log) to open settings (the single persistent entry); or use the system settings page (sidebar → Settings → Save-money);
- Click One-click DeepSeek peak/off-peak savings → the peak windows are added automatically (08:58–12:02, 13:58–18:02 Beijing time, with the 2-minute boundary margin);
- Check "Enable" (the one-click does not auto-enable);
- Save the window settings — the plugin starts watching: tasks pause automatically at the window start and resume when it ends.
Entries
