If 2H30 means 2 hours and 30 minutes then that's a fraction 5/48 of a day. By subtracting 5/48 from a date or timestamp you get a new timestamp that's 2 hours and 30 minutes ealier. You can get the time part of that timestamp by using the frac function: frac(MyTimestamp - 5/48). If you want to format that as a time you can use the time function: time(frac(MyTimestamp - 5/48),'hh:mm')
