How do I get Hours and Minutes left from a UTC formatted data and time string? I am looking at Duration class. Is that the right approach?
2021-08-17T12:00:00.235Z - Give a time like this, I need to find the hours and mins left from my local time.

I think you should take a look at DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString()
it requires a millisecond timestamp, but will provide you with something like this

Thanks, Christiano. Looking at it.

You can use JSR-310 classes to format a duration however you like, using the to<TimeUnit>Part() methods.

There is also a jsr310 extra formatter that has an opinionated version of this, but it is less configurable.
