I think a prefix followed by the relevant ISO8601 string would be clear enough. For example, "by-duration:P23DT23H" or something along those lines. I do find the "by-duration" description a bit confusing for what we're doing here (i.e. current time - duration) although there is precedent in the reset offsets tool. Ismael
