dsh-rpm

Per-provider requests-per-minute (RPM) rate limiting for DeepSeek Harness (DSH), with its own Settings → Rate limits tab.

Model requests to a provider beyond its limit are delayed until the next one-minute window instead of failing. That covers interactive chat, subagents and retries alike, because enforcement sits in the llm/stream waterfall that wraps every streaming model call.

Supported DSH versions

Supported range: DSH 0.1.5-rc.1 up to (not including) 0.3.0, with dsh-rpm 0.2.0 or later. Check yours with dsh --version.

DSH version	Status	Where the limits are stored
0.2.0-rc.2	✅ Tested	this plugin's entry in the profile patch (cordis.patch.yml)
0.2.0-rc.1	✅ Tested	this plugin's entry in the profile patch (cordis.patch.yml)
0.1.7-rc.2	✅ Tested	this plugin's entry in the profile patch (cordis.patch.yml)
0.1.5-rc.1 – 0.1.5-rc.3	✅ Tested	settings.yaml, section dsh-rpm
other releases from 0.1.5-rc.1 up to 0.3.0 (not included)	⚠️ Untested but should work: loads with a warning if the settings API check passes	detected automatically
older than 0.1.5-rc.1	❌ Not supported	—
0.3.0 and newer (prereleases included)	❌ Refused until tested (override with allowUntestedHarness: true)	—

Node.js: ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0.

Which plugin version do I need?

dsh-rpm	Works with DSH
0.2.0 and later	0.1.5-rc.1 up to 0.3.0 (not included). Own Settings tab.
0.1.0	only DSH 0.1.5 (settings.register). Fails to load on 0.1.7 and 0.2 because those releases no longer offer settings.register.

A refused plugin logs a clear error at startup and does not load; the Settings tab then says the host plugin is not running. It never half-loads.

Install from npm

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-rpm

Restart DSH Web, then open Settings → Rate limits.

The Settings tab

Rate limits lists every registered model provider, each with a requests-per-minute field and an Apply button:

• Every provider is unlimited by default.
• Enter a whole number (for example 20) and press Apply to cap that provider. Enter 0 or clear the field to remove the limit.
• Changes apply to every session immediately, with no restart.
• A provider that was removed but still has a stored limit keeps its row, so the limit can be cleared.

The tab uses whichever settings API the running DSH offers: configForms (0.1.7+, this plugin's own Config entry include:dsh-rpm) or settingsScope (0.1.5, namespace dsh-rpm).

How limiting works

• Each provider route has its own fixed one-minute window. Requests under the limit go straight through; the rest queue until the window resets and then proceed in order, never exceeding the limit in any window.
• Stopping a chat while its request is queued removes it from the queue at once; it never reaches the provider and never uses a slot.
• Routes without a limit pass through untouched, with no added latency.
• The limit counts requests started, not tokens, and is per DSH process.

Upgrading from 0.1.x

• The limit field moved from the provider cards in Settings → Models to the new Settings → Rate limits tab. dsh-rpm no longer occupies the provider-card slot, and it no longer needs dsh-short-tool-ids (whose 0.4.0 also dropped the combined card row). Both plugins are fully independent.
• The profile entry id changed from rpm-limits to dsh-rpm. On DSH 0.1.5 the stored limits (settings.yaml, section dsh-rpm) carry over. On DSH 0.1.7 and later, 0.1.0 failed to load, so there are no stored limits to migrate: set them again on the new tab.
• Upgrade with dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-rpm@latest, then restart DSH Web.

Development

The browser entry (lib/client.js) is generated from client/index.mjs: edit the source, then rebuild.

npm run build       # generate lib/client.js from client/index.mjs
npm test            # limiter, version-gate, host and client tests
DSH_TEST_HARNESS_ENTRY="$(realpath "$(which dsh)")" npm run test:integration
npm run pack:check  # inspect the exact published file set

test/plugin.test.mjs mounts the host plugin on the installed DSH (when DSH_TEST_HARNESS_ENTRY is set) and checks pass-through, queuing, cancellation and live limit changes through the real settings API.
