experimental.subDuration() function
The experimental.subDuration() function is subject to change at any time.
By using this function, you accept the risks of experimental functions.
The experimental.subDuration() function subtracts a duration from a time value and
returns the resulting time value.
This function will be removed once duration vectors are implemented. See influxdata/flux#413.
import "experimental"
experimental.subDuration(
d: 12h,
from: now(),
)
Parameters
d
The duration to subtract.
from
The time to subtract the duration from.
Use an absolute time or a relative duration.
Durations are relative to now().
Examples
Subtract six hours from a timestamp
import "experimental"
experimental.subDuration(d: 6h, from: 2019-09-16T12:00:00Z)
// Returns 2019-09-16T06:00:00.000000000Z
Subtract six hours from a relative duration
import "experimental"
option now = () => 2022-01-01T12:00:00Z
experimental.subDuration(d: 6h, from: -3h)
// Returns 2022-01-01T03:00:00.000000000Z
