How to check in an interaval if x time has passed since the creation of a channel in discord.js?

I've been having some hard time writing this and I searched a lot for any similar questions but didn't find any.

So I have this Schema:

new mongoose.Schema({
       Guild: String,
       Username: String,
       UserID: String,
       Channel: String,
       Type: String,
       Reason: String,
       Time: Date,
   })

And I want to automatically delete the channel after x time of its creation, the Time is saved as <channel>.createdTimestamp

And here is the condition of the event:

setInterval(async () => {
        hSchema.find().then((data) => {
            if (!data && !data.length) return
            
            data.forEach(async (value) => {
            const user = value.UserID;
            var time = value.Time; // time of the creation of channel
            var res = time.getTime(); // time in ms  

            // check if user is premium
            uSchema.findOne({ User: user}, async (err, userData) => {
                // if user is not premium
                if (!userData) {
                    const destruct = ms('1m'); // time to pass before deleting 
                    var date = res + destruct; 
                if () { // I can't figure out how to check if x time has passed since the creation of channel
                    // Do stuff here
                    const ch = data.Channel;
                    const channel = client.channels.cache.get(ch)
                     channel.delete()
                     value.delete()
                }
            }
            })
        })
    });
    }, ms("10 seconds"));

So as I said I just need some help on how to check if x ms has passed to use it in an if() statement!

You can use moment to subtract the diff in seconds pretty easy.

var now = moment(new Date());
var end = moment(discordChannelCreationTimestamp);

var duration = moment.duration(now.diff(end));

var seconds = duration.asSeconds();

You can use Date.now() to get the current time in milliseconds, then subtract whatever time you need (in milliseconds), and check that versus your created timestamp, if the number is greater it's been more than a minute!

const minuteInMs = 60000;

if (Date.now() - minuteInMs > channel.createdTimestamp) {
  console.log("more than a minute");
} else {
  console.log("less than a minute");
}
