How long is left before something is due (negative when late).
sla.left
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, time left on a deadline.”
Check → Time left on a deadline → Reply with Minutes.
What it does
How long is left before something is due (negative when late). It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: how long is left before something is due (negative when late).
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
