For the code <t:1798747200:…>, a reader in UTC with Discord in English sees:
| Style | Code | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Short time | <t:1798747200:t> | 8:00 PM |
| Long time | <t:1798747200:T> | 8:00:00 PM |
| Short date | <t:1798747200:d> | 12/31/2026 |
| Long date | <t:1798747200:D> | December 31, 2026 |
| Date and time (default) | <t:1798747200:f> | December 31, 2026 8:00 PM |
| Full date and time | <t:1798747200:F> | Thursday, December 31, 2026 8:00 PM |
| Relative | <t:1798747200:R> | in 2 months |
The relative style depends on when it is read; the example above was written on 3 November 2026.

How do Discord timestamps work?+
You write <t:SECONDS:STYLE> in a message, where SECONDS is a Unix time. Discord replaces it with a date shown in each reader’s own time zone and language. Someone in Paris and someone in New York read the same message and each sees their local time.
Where can I use a Discord timestamp?+
Anywhere Discord renders message formatting: messages, embeds sent by bots or webhooks, forum posts, event descriptions and your About Me. Not in server, channel or role names.
Which style should I use for an event?+
F gives the full date with the weekday, which avoids any doubt; add R next to it for a live countdown such as “in 3 hours”. For a time later the same day, t is enough.
Is a Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds?+
Discord expects seconds. JavaScript’s Date.now() returns milliseconds, so divide by 1000. A 13-digit number is almost always milliseconds by mistake.
Does the relative time update by itself?+
Yes. A <t:…:R> timestamp keeps counting: “in 5 minutes” becomes “2 minutes ago” without anyone editing the message.
