hi @jaibalaraman , 

 

You can specify an exact time such as earliest="10/5/2021:20:00:00", or a relative time such as earliest=-h or latest=@w6.

When specifying relative time, you can use the now modifier to refer to the current time.

According to the documentation for search time modifiers you should be correct. Although example 4 and 5 on that page uses a different time format. Try the format from the examples.
