DeepSeek Usage Tracker
Track your DeepSeek API account balance and remaining credits right from the
VS Code status bar. Never get caught with an empty balance during a coding
session again.
Ideal for developers using DeepSeek with
OpenCode or any other AI coding tool inside VS Code.
Monitor your usage without leaving the editor.
The extension talks only to DeepSeek's
/user/balance endpoint over HTTPS.
No other APIs, analytics, telemetry, or third-party services are involved.
Features
- Live balance in the status bar — your DeepSeek credits displayed at a
glance, auto-refreshed every 5 minutes
- Low-balance warnings — configurable alerts when your credits drop below
preset thresholds ($20, $10, $5, or $1). Tap the notification to adjust
settings immediately
- $0 alert — a dedicated warning fires when you have no credits remaining,
regardless of threshold settings
- Multi-currency support — USD and CNY balances, switchable with one click
- QuickPick command palette — click the status bar to refresh balance,
switch currencies, configure warning thresholds, change or clear your API key,
or open the DeepSeek billing dashboard
- Secure by default — your API key is stored in VS Code SecretStorage (macOS
Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux libsecret/gnome-keyring)
- Zero runtime dependencies — built entirely on the VS Code Extension API
and Node.js
https module. No npm packages at runtime, nothing phoning home

Privacy
This extension makes exactly one outbound network call:
GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance with your API key in the
Authorization header. Your key never leaves your machine except for that
single request to DeepSeek. No analytics, telemetry, or third-party services
are involved.
