A readable complaint time
The CFPB stores when a complaint arrived as 2024-01-15T00:01:21.000Z. A case worker's screen shows it as 15 Jan 2024, 00:01 UTC: the day without a leading zero, a three-letter month, the year, then the hours and minutes. You have no lists yet, but you don't need one: all twelve month names fit in one text, three letters each, and a slice can pick out the right three.
