I have GeoJason data from USGS site which contains Epoch time such as 1650016756409 or 1649948565590. I tried to read them in either %s$ or %Es% using DateTimeConverter, all failed and cannot convert. I am using FME desktop 2021.2. Please help.
Solved
Cannot convert Epoch time to human datetime

According to the documentation %s or %Es are expected to be in seconds. When checking your datetimestamps with an epoch converter on the internet, they appear to be in milliseconds. I know this because I have had the same problem :)
You can convert from milliseconds to seconds using the ExpressionEvaluator or an AttributeCreator using
@Evaluate(@Value(datetime_epoch_miliseconds)/1000)
