DeepSeek Pricing
An Omarchy shell bar widget that shows whether the DeepSeek API is billing at peak or off-peak rates, with a countdown to the next change.

Status
Peak windows are fixed in UTC: 01:00-04:00 and 06:00-10:00, Monday through Friday. Every other hour (weekends included) is off-peak at exactly half the peak rate. Source: DeepSeek's Models & Pricing docs (effective 2026-08-16).
| State | Icon | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak | DeepSeek whale | red (#bf616a) |

| Off-peak | DeepSeek whale | green (#a3be8c) |
half price |
The bar icon is the DeepSeek whale logo, recoloured by state
(assets/deepseek-peak.svg / assets/deepseek-offpeak.svg).
