Vertica Query to find and subtract skips in time

slc1axjslc1axj Vertica Customer

I have a table showing username, start and end time throughout the day. I need a query that will find the skip in time that may happen between the end_time and start_time in order. I've attached an example of what I'm looking for.

    set datestyle to DMY;
    
    select *, datediff('second', start_time_utc, lag(end_time_utc) over (order by start_time_utc) ) as skip_time_s
    from skip_time
    order by user_name,row;
     user_name | start_date |   start_time_utc    |    end_time_utc     | row | skip_time_s
