The `queryEndTime()` operator returns the end time of the search [time range](/docs/search/get-started-with-search/build-search/set-time-range) in milliseconds. You can use it in combination with [`queryStartTime()`](querystarttime.md) to establish times and ranges for your non-continuous queries.

:::note
For dashboards in live mode, `queryTimeRange()` is a more suitable option. In most cases, the results would still be the same as using `queryStartTime()` and `queryEndTime()`, but the latter can be off from the real range by a few milliseconds.

## Syntax

`queryEndTime() as <field>`

## Rules

* An alias is required.

## Examples

To get a duration of your query:

```sumo
error
| (queryEndTime() - queryStartTime()) as duration
```

To list start time, end time, and duration:

```sumo
error
| queryStartTime() as starttime
| queryEndTime() as endtime
| (endtime - starttime) as duration
```
