Well you achieve it with some tweaks like

const today = moment();
const someday = moment('2022-09-21 10:00Z');

const diff = today.diff(someday, 'hours');

this will return you the number only and you can, later on, append an 'h' to it like

diff+'h';

use string replace

 string.replace('hours', 'h');
