asyncio.sleep() will only take seconds, you can write a function for this that converts inputted time into seconds.

import re
from datetime import timedelta


time_units = {'s': 'seconds', 'm': 'minutes', 'h': 'hours', 'd': 'days', 'w': 'weeks'}


def to_seconds(s):
    return int(timedelta(**{
        time_units.get(m.group('unit').lower(), 'seconds'): int(m.group('val'))
        for m in re.finditer(r'(?P<val>\d+)(?P<unit>[smhdw]?)', s, flags=re.I)
    }).total_seconds())


@client.command()
async def giveaway(ctx, *, time):
    print(f"{ctx.message.content} --> {to_seconds(time)}")

Output:

>giveaway 1w --> 604800
>giveaway 30s --> 30
>giveaway 1d --> 86400
>giveaway 1h 25m --> 5100
>giveaway 5m 30s --> 330

asyncio.sleep() always takes delay in seconds - see documentation. You can easily write a function that will take any amount time in any unit and converts it to seconds. Then you just pass that number to asyncio.sleep().
