Questions

How do Discord timestamps work?

A code like <t:1700000000:R> holds a moment as a Unix timestamp, the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 in UTC. Discord turns it into a date in each reader’s own time zone and language when it shows the message.

What does each letter mean?

t is a short time, T a long time, d a short date, D a long date, f a date and time, F the day, date and time, and R a relative time like "in 2 hours". Without a letter Discord uses f.

Does the relative time update?

Yes. The R style counts up or down while the message is on screen.

Can I use it in an embed?

Yes, in an embed’s description and field values, but not in its title.
