Like [`HTTL`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/httl), this command returns the remaining TTL (time to live) of a field that has an
expiration set, but in milliseconds instead of seconds.

## Example

```
redis> HPTTL no-key FIELDS 3 field1 field2 field3
(nil)
redis> HSET mykey field1 "hello" field2 "world"
(integer) 2
redis> HEXPIRE mykey 300 FIELDS 2 field1 field3
1) (integer) 1
2) (integer) -2
redis> HPTTL mykey FIELDS 3 field1 field2 field3
1) (integer) 292202
2) (integer) -1
3) (integer) -2
```

## Return information

{{< multitabs id="hpttl-return-info"

* [Array reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#arrays). For each field:
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-2` if no such field exists in the provided hash key, or the provided key does not exist.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-1` if the field exists but has no associated expiration set.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): the TTL in milliseconds.
