How to get the ban expire in HOURS

Hello! I am making a game, and was wondering how would I show a player how long they were banned from ONLY IN HOURS. Here is my code:

         if (error.Error == PlayFabErrorCode.AccountBanned) 
         {
             Debug.Log("The user is banned from Funny Apes.");
    
             foreach (var item in error.ErrorDetails)
             {
                 computerManager.ShowErrorMessage("You have been banned from playing Funny Apes.\nReason: " + item.Key + "\n Time Left: " + item.Value[0]);
             }
         }
         else
         {
             computerManager.ShowErrorMessage("Unable to authenticate with PlayFab. For more info, read our FAQ in our Discord!");
         }

Can anyone help me? The current code shows the date, minutes, and hours. How would I make it show it only shows hours? (eg. "You have been banned from Funny Apes. Reason: Testing, Expires: 1h".

You could calculate the time difference between the current UTC time and the Ban expire time. Here is the example code you could refer to.

 // Get the current UTC time
     DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
        
     //Parsing BanExpireTime
     DateTime BanExpireTime = DateTime.Parse(item.Value[0]);
        
     // Calculate time difference
     TimeSpan difference = BanExpireTime - now;
        
     // Display in hours
     double hours = difference.TotalHours;
        
     Debug.Log(hours);
