How to convert a 13 digit time to 10 digit time

Question

The backend time that is being returned to the server is a 13 digit time, such as 1606712400000. This is the response from this rendering:

res.status(200).send(Date.now().toString());

I think it has something to do with converting it to milliseconds, utc, udf, etc.

But I would like the time to be in a different time. A time that will return 10 digits instead of 13. If i could figure this out, then the time for the chart will be correct. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

`Date.now()` always produces 13 digits because it's in milliseconds. — VLAZ, May 14 '21 at 15:29
@VLAZ—only between about 9 Sep 2001 and 16 Nov 5138 for positive values. :-) — RobG, May 14 '21 at 20:30
@RobG np, I'd come back and amend my comment when it's no longer correct ;) — VLAZ, May 14 '21 at 20:46

Maybe you can divide given milliseconds by 1000 to turn them into seconds but be carefull when working with unix timestamps.
