The built-in defaults work out of the box. To override, add a config block to the row in cordis.patch.yml:

Key	Default	Meaning
`apiKey`	—	Literal API key. Not recommended — the key lands in a config file in plain text.
`apiKeyEnv`	`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`	Credential reference resolved through the credentials service (fallback: process env).
`baseURL`	`https://api.deepseek.com`	Base URL of the balance endpoint.
`currency`	`CNY`	Display currency; falls back to the first entry the API returns.
`pollMs`	`60000`	Poll interval (minimum 15 000 ms).

Example:

- insert:
    - id: deepseek-balance
      name: 'dsh-plugin-deepseek-balance'
      config:
        pollMs: 30000

Read — 本次运行已用 ¥0.42 · 余额 ¥10.98 under the composer.
Hover — tooltip with granted / topped-up balance, an 余额不足 marker when is_available is false, and the last update time.
Click the spent figure — opens the DeepSeek platform usage page (https://platform.deepseek.com/usage) in a new tab with the official consumption details (platform login required).
Click the refresh icon — forces an immediate refresh (useful right after a spend or top-up).
Loading — shows DeepSeek 余额查询中… until the first snapshot arrives.
Missing key — shows DeepSeek 余额：未配置 API Key with a hint; the plugin retries every 5 seconds and heals as soon as a key becomes available.
