Use this
index=testing
| timechart max("event.Properties.duration") as maxDuration
| eval maxDuration=round(maxDuration/1000, 3)

Here's an example, you can then change to your SPL fields
| makeresults
| eval millis_sec = 5000
| eval seconds = millis_sec/1000
| table millis_sec, seconds

@deepakc's was a so-called "run-anywhere" example. A sequence of commands that can be run on its own without any additional data that you need to search for, meant for showing some mechanism. It starts with a makeresults command which creates an "empty" result.
This example was not meant to be run as part of your search but you should do something similar with your data and your field names.

@jaibalaramanIf the time is in milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds you must convert the time into seconds. You can use the pow function to convert the number.
- To convert from milliseconds to seconds, divide the number by 1000 or 10^3.
- To convert from microseconds to seconds, divide the number by 10^6.
- To convert from nanoseconds to seconds, divide the number by 10^9.
