Team, 

I have below timechart which is counting http error/success codes for a span of 1hr.

Now I need to calculate the percentage increase (or decrease) in each error/success code based on previous hour.

_time 200 4xx errors 5xx errors
2022-05-23 00:00 100 20 30
2022-05-23 01:00 200 30 30
2022-05-23 02:00 250 50 60
2022-05-23 03:00 300 30 50
2022-05-23 04:00 350 40 40
2022-05-23 05:00 400 60 60
2022-05-23 06:00 500 80 80

Try this generic search (will work with any status)

Your current search with timechart
| streamstats current=f window=1 values(*) as prev_*
| foreach prev_* [| eval "PercChange_<<MATCHSTR>>" =round(('<<MATCHSTR>>'-'<<FIELD>>')*100/'<<FIELD>>',2)]

Try something like this

| streamstats current=f window=1 latest('200') as previous_200 latest('4xx errors') as previous_4xx_errors latest('5xx errors') as previous_5xx_errors
| eval 200increase = 100 * '200' / previous_200 - 100
| eval 4xxincrease = 100 * '4xx errors' / previous_4xx_errors - 100
| eval 5xxincrease = 100 * '5xx errors' / previous_5xx_errors - 100
