Each timedelta has a defined resolution that represents the lowest OR most granular level of precision. Each level of resolution is represented by a short string as defined below:

Resolution: Return value

• Days: ‘D’
• Hours: ‘H’
• Minutes: ‘T’
• Seconds: ‘S’
• Milliseconds: ‘L’
• Microseconds: ‘U’
• Nanoseconds: ‘N’

Returns:

str

Timedelta resolution.

Examples

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 2 min 3 us 42 ns')
>>> td.resolution
'N'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 2 min 3 us')
>>> td.resolution
'U'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('2 min 3 s')
>>> td.resolution
'S'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta(36, unit='us')
>>> td.resolution
'U'
