# Date and time format

Timestamps are formatted according to [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601), a widely accepted standard for representing date and time information in a consistent manner. For instance:

`2023-12-28T08:36:52.440Z`

In this format:

* `2023-12-28` represents the date (year-month-day)
* `T` separates the date from the time
* `08:36:52.440` represents the time (hour:minute:second.millisecond)
* `Z` indicates that the time is in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
