Edited a little from an example I found from datetime import datetime upload = datetime.strptime('2023-09-26T11:22:42.2Z', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ') current = datetime.now() diff = current - upload def fmt(tdelta, fmt): times = {'days':tdelta.days} times['hours'], rem = divmod(tdelta.seconds, 3600) times['minutes'], times['seconds'] = divmod(rem, 60) return fmt.format(**times) print(f'Uploaded: {upload}') print(f'Current: {current}') print(fmt(diff, 'Difference {days} days {hours} hours {minutes} minutes {seconds} seconds'))Output
