dsh-peak-hours

When you are waiting on a long response or queuing tasks in DeepSeek Harness, the most natural question is simply: is it a peak hour right now? dsh-peak-hours pins the answer to the top bar of every conversation as a small red-or-green badge, so you can glance and move on. It always evaluates against Beijing time (UTC+8), treating 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 as peak windows and everything else as off-peak, with the current Beijing time displayed alongside. The status stays correct no matter which timezone your machine is in.

The plugin is deliberately zero-overhead by design. All time calculation runs entirely in the browser with no network requests and no extra model calls. The badge refreshes every fifteen seconds, so the color flips within a short window of any boundary crossing without a page reload. You can switch the badge language between Chinese and English in Settings, and the choice persists across restarts. Visually it inherits the shell semantic color tokens, so it looks at home in both light and dark themes.

It is a quiet, low-friction addition for anyone who uses DSH conversations daily and likes to time their longer prompts away from the rush. Open any session, see the small badge at the far left of the header, and know at a glance whether the service is likely busy.
