About this regex

Matches a flexible duration/datetime string that can include day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond components. Values may be separated by suffixes (d, h, m, s, ms) or colons, and seconds can include decimal fractions. Named capture groups (day, hour, min, sec, msec) extract each time component for further processing.
