    That error usually happens when you don't use a loop on search step results.  If your step B is a search query, then you need to use a loop to access the results. Your step referencing B must be inside the loop.

In pipelines you're getting/viewing/working with the raw datetime value in utc time from your datetime field. You should be able to just compare your datetime field to less than 30 seconds ago in an expression, if you're using a conditional, or even a filter. 

In this example, if the start datetime value from the record is within 30 seconds, then follow the true path. This is within a conditional step using expression - evaluates to true:

{% if a.start_date_time >= time.now - time.delta(seconds=30) %}
true
{% endif %}

Hope this helps.
