How to restrict timerange in tstats search within query?

I have a tstats search panel on a dashboard and I'm trying to limit the timeframe for this particular search (separate from the shared time token). I tried using various commands but just can't seem to get the syntax right. What is the correct syntax to specify time restrictions in a tstats search?

current search query is not limited to the 3 hours, it still runs to whatever the time picker selects.

| tstats hoursago=4 endhoursago=1 count where index=web by _time sourcetype span=15m prestats=t
| timechart span=15m count by sourcetype

@DEAD_BEEF,

Try this

| tstats count where (index=_internal earliest=-4h  latest=-1h)  by _time sourcetype span=15m prestats=t
| timechart span=15m count by sourcetype

What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂

works perfectly! I was so close, I tried earliest/latest in the timechart command, thank you!
