DSH Usage & Cost Plugins: Track Tokens, Cut Burn (2026)

Six hand-checked usage and cost dashboards for DeepSeek Harness — see what each session spends, set budgets before the bill surprises you, and attribute every token to the provider, relay or project that burned it.

Token anxiety is the sharpest pain in the dsh community right now: the official tracker's most-upvoted cost thread of the week (#8938/#8934) measures dsh's per-turn startup floor at 8,188 tokens on its own V4.1 Flash — 3.3× Hermes and 1.8× Claude Code on the same model — and #9018 records an auto-review loop burning 25 million uncached tokens in 57 minutes with no way to see where the money went. The community answered with a dashboard cluster this page re-verified live on 2026-10-07: six plugins at ★100 and above, from budget meters to relay-site ledgers. For the built-in numbers first, read the usage-tracking guide.

dsh already counts every token natively — the Trajectory tab is the receipt. Install a dashboard when you want the numbers always on: a budget line, a provider balance bar, a per-session cost you can show your team.

Why it matters now

01

Measured demand: Google suggest surfaces dsh usage stats, dsh cost meter, dsh live stats and dsh usage as typed-in forms, and six plugins clear ★100 — supply this fresh is rare. Every pick was re-checked via the GitHub API on 2026-10-07.

02

The pain is on official record: #8938/#8934 (the same-model 3.3×/1.8× token floor), #9018 (auto-review spend that no dashboard could attribute), #8999 (the macOS desktop shows a balance but no usage), #8997 (images metered at ~22 tokens that really cost up to 1,027) and #9022 (failed compaction misreported as quota exhausted).

03

Analysis, not anxiety: these dashboards turn raw counters into decisions — which model tier, which runtime mode, which hour (peak vs off-peak) — instead of just showing a scary number. The link chips below hand you the levers.

Cost dashboards head-to-head: four plugins, four jobs

The four dashboards behind most of the community token talk, compared on the axes that actually differ — attribution, budgets, account coverage and feedback. Same raw data; pick by the question you ask first.

han-1413141/dsh-cost-meter (★375) — the budget controller

Per-conversation and per-model costs, a budget with usage percentage, provider balance bars, official coding-plan quota queries across 10+ vendors, and peak/off-peak alerts with configurable lead time. Bilingual UI, 170+ model prices built in, one-click price sync from the official docs. Install it when the question is 'will this month's bill surprise me?'

zh667/tokenledger (★204) — the relay-site ledger

Attribution is its whole craft: usage grouped by the relay origin (baseURL) that served each request — same-site keys collapse into one row — plus per-project grouping and subscription quota windows (5-hour / weekly / monthly), each with its own reset clock. Zero config, credentials never touched, effective-dated rate tables, and unattributed rows counted honestly. Install it when you juggle relays or split work across projects.

ychris12138/dsh-usage-stats (★169) — the account monitor

The multi-provider panel: one card per account with balance or token-plan windows, today/month/total analytics with cache-hit rate, a month calendar heatmap and drill-downs by date, provider and model. Estimated cost matches events to historical prices, with optional budget warnings; extensible via New API / Sub2API adapters or declarative JSON Pointer queries. Install it when several provider accounts share one harness.

At-a-glance docks: always-on numbers without the panel

Two picks that live on screen all day — one as a persistent dock, one as the bench behind it — for people who want today's spend visible from the corner of their eye.

aisland-sjl/dsh-usage (★115) — the floating dock

A persistent dock with balance, today/month tokens and cache-hit rate always visible; it folds to a pill when the sidebar collapses. Seven drag-orderable widgets include a 28-day × 24-hour activity heatmap and a DSH-vs-Claude-Code channel share bar. Local-only and privacy-first; works on dsh web and the official Windows Desktop.

The wider dashboard bench

The auto-ranked list above surfaces kenz1117/dsh-ui-usage-billing (★70, sidebar cost metrics aggregated from real session logs), jingbiaomei/tokdash (★84, cross-provider session and quota analytics) and feiyang-dev/dsh-usage-plugin (★37, per-call stats with CSV/JSON/PNG export) — the cluster has a runnable option at almost every star level.

Subscription & quota lanes: spend the plan, not the wallet

One pick that changes what a token even costs: metering against a subscription you already pay for instead of pay-as-you-go credits.

wsl043/dsh-codex-subscription (★141) — the subscription bridge

Log in with an existing ChatGPT/Codex subscription via OAuth and dsh can call those models, read the dual-cycle quota windows, and even search and generate images — no API key and no Codex CLI required. Pair it with a usage dashboard so the plan quota line shows up next to your token counts.

Frequently asked questions

Does DeepSeek Harness need a plugin to track token usage?

No — every session's Trajectory tab already counts tokens per request, and the composer shows session totals. Plugins add what the core lacks: budgets, history across sessions, provider balances, per-day charts and cost in your currency. Read the usage-tracking guide for the built-in views first, then add a dashboard from this collection.

Which dsh cost plugin shows a budget before I overspend?

dsh-cost-meter is the most complete budget line: a budget with usage percentage, a quota strip above the input box, peak/off-peak change alerts with configurable lead time, and plan/API dual-track billing across a built-in 170+ model price catalog. dsh-usage-stats adds cost estimates matched to historical prices with optional budget warnings.

How do I see token usage per relay site or API key?

TokenLedger answers exactly that: it groups usage by the relay origin (the provider baseURL) that actually served each request, with per-project grouping and zero configuration. It reads only the baseURL — never your credentials — and exports CSV/JSON for auditing.

Do these dashboards work in the desktop app or only dsh web?

Most target the Web UI (dsh web), where the session data lives; dsh-usage documents support for the official Windows Desktop as well. The macOS desktop currently shows a balance but no usage view (#8999) — open the web UI at 127.0.0.1:3080 for the full numbers.

What is peak and off-peak billing for DeepSeek tokens?

DeepSeek charges less per million tokens outside peak hours — and all day on weekends and Chinese public holidays. dsh-cost-meter and dsh-damage-pulse both display the current tier and can alert you before it flips, so long batch jobs can be scheduled into the cheap window. Shifting hours is the cheapest saving available, and it costs nothing.

Usage dashboard or balance widget — which do I need?

Different questions. A usage dashboard answers 'how much did this cost and what burned it'; a balance widget answers 'how much is left on the account'. Heavy users end up with one of each: a dashboard from this collection, plus the whale balance widget from our balance-widget guide.
