Hi! It would be great if you could provide a bit more information. If I'm understanding correctly, the first picture is what you want to be displayed, and the second is your code? If so, what is being displayed with your current code? I notice you used {long: false} with the ms function, which might be one of your problems. That will turn the "9 hours, 57 minutes, 20 seconds" you showed into "9h57m20s"

You should use native discord timestamps (for example, <t:1675011000:R>). You can do this by importing Formatters from discord.js, and then:

const time = interaction.options.getString('time');
const timeInMs = ms(time);

// ...

.setDescription(`This giveaway ends: <t:${Math.floor((Date.now() + timeInMs) / 1000)}:R>`)

const time = interaction.options.getString('time');
const timeInMs = ms(time);

// ...

.setDescription(`This giveaway ends: <t:${Math.floor((Date.now() + timeInMs) / 1000)}:R>`)

This will: - get the user input - use the ms function to convert it to ms (for example, "1 second" will become 1000) - create a timestamp by using timestamp syntax (that is: <t:timestamp_in_seconds:R> (the R is for relative) Date.now() is the current time, and if we add timeInMs it will be the time the user wants the giveaway to end at

Sorry, I updated the code. You have to surround the (Date.now() + timeInMs) / 1000) with Math.floor because Discord only accepts the second count as an integer (Math.floor() rounds down to the nearest integer)
