summary: Returns the expiration time of a hash field as a Unix timestamp, in msec.

`HPEXPIRETIME` has the same semantics as [`HEXPIRETIME`]({{< relref "/commands/hexpiretime" >}}), but returns the absolute Unix expiration timestamp in milliseconds since Unix epoch instead of seconds.

## Examples

```
redis> HSET mykey field1 "hello" field2 "world"
(integer) 2
redis> HEXPIRE mykey 300 FIELDS 2 field1 field2
1) (integer) 1
2) (integer) 1
redis> HPEXPIRETIME mykey FIELDS 2 field1 field2
1) (integer) 1715705913659
2) (integer) 1715705913659
```

* [Array reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#arrays). For each field:
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-2` if no such field exists in the provided hash key, or the provided key does not exist.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-1` if the field exists but has no associated expiration set.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): the expiration (Unix timestamp) in milliseconds.
