Trade offer expire time

[RavenX86]

Any specific format this date object needs to be in?
I was to set "cancelTime": 5*60*1000
Also I tried doing it manually by passing a date object set 5 minutes in the future (my timezone is GBT+3).
After sending the offer and fetching offer.expires the time is correct but 14 days in the future.

Any ideas what might cause this?

I believe it needs to be an integer, so for 5 minutes i would put 300000.

cancelTime - Optional. The time, in milliseconds, that a sent offer can remain Active until it's automatically canceled by the manager. This feature is disabled if omitted. Note that this check is performed on polling, so it will only work as expected if timed polling is enabled. Also note that because polling is on a timer, offers will be canceled between cancelTime and cancelTime + pollInterval

There might be some confusion here. The expires property is Steam's expiration date, which is always 14 days from creation time and can't be changed. cancelTime works independently of it.

Thanks a lot for explaining that.
