# 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

```bash
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.
