# Time

> Current time, timestamps and date formats.

| Variable | Output |
| - | - |
| `{now}` | Current time in full Discord format |
| `{now.relative}` | Current time, relative |
| `{timestamp}` | Current Unix timestamp |
| `{date}` | Current date (UTC, `YYYY-MM-DD`) |
| `{time}` | Current time (UTC, `HH:MM`) |

Time values are rendered by Discord, so each reader sees `{now}` in their own timezone · useful for
event announcements where the audience spans regions.

`{date}` and `{time}` are fixed to UTC; use `{now}` when the reader's local time matters.
