# HEXPIREAT

> Set field expiry as timestamp.

Use `HEXPIREAT` to schedule individual hash fields for deletion at a fixed point in time, given as a Unix timestamp in seconds.

It is the absolute-deadline form of [`HEXPIRE`](/redis/commands/hash/hexpire), which is what you want when several fields, or fields across several hashes, must expire at the same moment. A timestamp in the past removes the fields right away. The key is deleted when its last field expires.

`FIELDS <numfields>` introduces the field list and the count must match. The optional condition applies the deadline only in certain cases: `NX` when the field has no expiration, `XX` when it already has one, `GT` when the new deadline is later than the current one, and `LT` when it is earlier.

The reply holds one status code per field: `1` when the expiration was set, `0` when the condition prevented it, `2` when the field was deleted immediately, and `-2` when the field does not exist.

## Syntax

```redis
HEXPIREAT <key> <unix-time-seconds>
  [NX | XX | GT | LT]
  FIELDS <numfields> <field> [<field> ...]
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required | Repeatable | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `<key>` | Yes | No | Redis key targeted by the command. |
| `<unix-time-seconds>` | Yes | No | Expiration time as a Unix timestamp in seconds. |
| `(NX \| XX \| GT \| LT)` | No | No | Choose one form: `NX` (only when the field has no expiration); `XX` (only when the field already has one); `GT` (only when the new expiration is later than the current one); `LT` (only when it is earlier). |
| `FIELDS <numfields> <field> [<field> ...]` | Yes | No | Fields to target. Give the field count first, then that many field names. |

## Important points

- `NX` cannot be combined with `XX`, `GT`, or `LT`, and `GT` and `LT` cannot be used together.
- A field with no expiration counts as an infinite one, so `GT` never sets an expiration on such a field and `LT` always does.

## Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.

| Protocol | Reply |
| --- | --- |
| RESP2 | Array of integer status codes, one per field |
| RESP3 | Array of integer status codes, one per field |

<Note>
  Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

## Examples

TCP examples use the TLS `REDIS_URL` from the Upstash console. REST examples use `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`.
