A bit more effort would not hurt as it is easy to find that information in the help.

You can't subtract in a format string. You'll have to subtract those three seconds from your actual DateTime value e.g. myDateTime = myDateTime.AddSeconds(-3);

Formats are documented in the help with an example for each format specifier. It is pretty easy to find help on that by searching DateTime format.

Standard Date and Time Format Strings[^]

Custom Date and Time Format Strings[^]

And the last question is also easy to answer from the help.

C#

var timeLess3Seconds = originalTime.AddSeconds(-3.0);
