All inputs must be UTC, but outputs will be formated by Discord to your local time.
Any common format should work, excluding those that are ambiguous, i.e. 12/10/2022 will not work.
Prefer
yyyy-mm-dd [hh:mm:ss]
(Without a time it will default to midnight.)
Time Zone
Dates will be interpreted as UTC by default.
You can specify the time zone at the end of the time with the following format.
-hhmm
or +hhmm
e.g. +0200
would be UTC + 2
You can also use the following format to specify a time in relation to the current time.
in x <s|min|h|d|w|mon|y>
s = seconds
min = minutes
h = hours
d = days
w = weeks
mon = months
y = years
(You can also write seconds, minutes etc., that will still match the correct one.)
