Relative time acting weird

[robinttt333]

I am working on a chat application and whenever a new message is created I use the relativeTime

method to display the relative time since the time of the creation of the message. However, the recently created message acts a bit weird.
For new messages, if I subtract 1 from the seconds I get the desired behaviour but this is a bit hacky.
Am I missing something?

The problem is it just says "ago" if you don't subtract 1 from seconds?

Can you share the exact code you're using?

Yes, that is exactly what happens.
In my backend I get a sequelize timestamp which I convert to js Date

This is done using the below code
createdAt: ({ createdAt }) => new Date(createdAt).toISOString()
and on my frontend I simply do
<div> {hdate.relativeTime(createdAt)} </div>
