How to create a DateTime equal to 15 minutes ago?

Question

I need to create a DateTime object that represents the current time minus 15 minutes.

Answer 1

If you are using time.time() and wants timestamp as output

Simply use

CONSTANT_SECONDS = 900 # time  in seconds (900 seconds = 15 min)

current_time = int(time.time())
time_before_15_min = current_time - CONSTANT_SECONDS

You can change 900 seconds as per your required time.
