# Breaking: #82893 - Remove global variable PARSETIME_START {#breaking-82893}

See [forge#82893](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/82893)

## Description {#description}

The global variable `$GLOBALS['PARSETIME_START']` can be removed, as it has been superseded by
`$GLOBALS['TYPO3_MISC']['microtime_start']` for a long time already.

## Impact {#impact}

The variable is not available any more. If it is used it must be replaced (see Migration).

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations that use the global variable `$GLOBALS['PARSETIME_START']`.

## Migration {#migration}

Use `round($GLOBALS['TYPO3_MISC']['microtime_start'] * 1000)` if you need the same value as
`$GLOBALS['PARSETIME_START']` previously contained.
