PTTL key

Like TTL this command returns the remaining time to live of a key that has an expire set, with the sole difference that TTL returns the amount of remaining time in seconds while PTTL returns it in milliseconds.

  • The command returns -2 if the key does not exist.
  • The command returns -1 if the key exists but has no associated expire.

Return value

Integer reply: TTL in milliseconds, or a negative value in order to signal an error (see the description above).

Examples

redis> SET mykey "Hello"
OK
redis> EXPIRE mykey 1
(integer) 1
redis> PTTL mykey
(integer) 999
