## Dynamic Timestamps (UNIX Timestamps)

In Discord, dynamic timestamps automatically adjust to each viewing member's local operating system timezone, eliminating timezone confusion across announcements and sanction logs.

### Syntax Structure
The native syntax format is defined as:
```
<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FLAG>
```

| Flag | Format Style | Example Output |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `t` | Short Time | `16:20` |
| `T` | Long Time | `16:20:30` |
| `d` | Short Date | `09/15/2026` |
| `D` | Long Date | `September 15, 2026` |
| `f` | Short Date with Time | `September 15, 2026 16:20` |
| `F` | Full Date with Time | `Tuesday, September 15, 2026 16:20` |
| `R` | Relative Time | `in 2 hours` or `5 minutes ago` |

:::tip[Moderation Use Case]
The relative flag `R` (`<t:1789495200:R>`) is ideal for communicating exact timeout expiries, staff shift starts, and appeal submission deadlines.
