The uptime in that template sensor is given in minutes, not seconds.
This feels like a more accurate version :
{%- set TIME_MAP = {
'w': (uptime / 604800) % 604800,
'd': (uptime / 86400) % 7,
'h': (uptime / 3600) % 24,
'm': (uptime / 60) % 60,
's': (uptime % 60)
}

Certainly more accurate, but unnecessary for my needs. I believe the sensor will only update every 15 seconds anyway?
Mostly, the way I think of it is … “when will I ever care about the exact second my HASS instance started?” It’s mostly a for-fun sensor anyway. 
i fully agree, the sensors i’m converting into human-readable are updating once per hour, seconds, even minutes are of little importance.
The thing is, that your formulas for hours days & weeks are wrong.
@Tommmii I would encourage you to run some tests. uptime in minutes divided by the number of minutes in [hour, day, week] modulo the number of minutes in [hour, day, week] should yield the correct output. If you can demonstrate it does not, I’m happy to change the coding to fix!

'week': (uptime / 604800) % 10080,
'day': (uptime / 86400) % 7,
'hour': (uptime / 3600) % 24,
'minute': (uptime % 60)
}

Also, one of the uptimes i’m tracking is at 1064848 seconds right now.
That converts to 1 w, 5 d, 7 h, 47 m, 28 s according to my calculation.
Confirmed by https://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/seconds_to_hh_mm_ss/
I’m sorry, I’m confused as to what the problem is. I receive a similar result of “1 week, 5 days, 7 hours, 47 minutes” with the code in my snippet. The smallest denomination in my snippet is minutes, so you would need to first divide 1,064,848 by 60.
This thread being named “Convert seconds to days, hours, minutes”, I hadn’t noticed your template is based on sensor.hass_uptime_minutes which has minute resolution.
My bad.

He, really great, thanks @SupahNoob!
But where do you get the units from? And are they exchangable to jus ‘d’ instead of days for expample?
I tried googling after time formatting for jinja or pyhton but didn’t find a thing on what methods you are relying here.
I don’t necessarily think this has anything specifically to do what you are asking but here is something I wrote up a while back that has some info on time formatting:
Now there is an understatement.

My apologies, I realized this is a 3-year-old thread. However, it’s still very relevant; and, easily searchable on Google.com.
I just wanted to post ChatGPT’s solution; which I think IMHO is the nicest solution out of all the examples above. The resulting output and the code itself are both easier to read. It also supports years and months, and does NOT unnecessarily display 0 years or 0 months or 0 weeks or 0 hours for those cases.
Output Example:
8d 11h 45m
sensor.rt_ac5300_uptime value is in seconds
template:
- sensor:
- name: "Asus Router Uptime"
state: >
{% set uptime = states.sensor.rt_ac5300_uptime.state | int %}
{% set years = uptime // 31536000 %}
{% set months = (uptime % 31536000) // 2592000 %}
{% set days = (uptime % 2592000) // 86400 %}
{% set hours = (uptime % 86400) // 3600 %}
{% set minutes = (uptime % 3600) // 60 %}
{{ '%dy ' % years if years else '' }}{{ '%dm ' % months if months else '' }}{{ '%dd ' % days if days else '' }}{{ '%dh ' % hours if hours else '' }}{{ '%dm' % minutes if minutes else '' }}

My UPS gives the time in seconds. I have added that to your ChatGPT example and it displays nicely.
- type: custom:mushroom-template-card
entity: sensor.ups_battery_runtime
primary: Runtime
secondary: |
{% set uptime = states.sensor.ups_battery_runtime.state | int %}
{% set years = uptime // 31536000 %}
{% set months = (uptime % 31536000) // 2592000 %}
{% set days = (uptime % 2592000) // 86400 %}
{% set hours = (uptime % 86400) // 3600 %}
{% set minutes = (uptime % 3600) // 60 %}
{% set seconds = (uptime % 60) %}
{{ '%dy ' % years if years else '' }}
{{ '%dm ' % months if months else '' }}
{{ '%dd ' % days if days else '' }}
{{ '%dh ' % hours if hours else '' }}
{{ '%dm ' % minutes if minutes else '' }}
{{ '%ds' % seconds if seconds else '' }}
Is there a way to get the minutes and seconds to always display 2 digits with a leading zero if necessary?
Thank you.

Nice! I purposefully didn’t add the seconds for mine since it was completely unnecessary in my case. But, nice that you were able to add seconds too.
Works well! Thank you very much!
So, I am trying the above timeticks conversion and am getting nowhere… I have my sensor configs in a sensors directory with files per device under that. This works and has worked for ages. But, when I put the below code in my mikrotik sensors file and run a configuration check it just sits and spins until I cut the code out and check it again… What have I done wrong? I have included the snmp sensor that sources the data and works fine.
- platform: snmp
name: "MT610 uptime"
unique_id: mt610uptime
host: 192.168.1.9
community: homeread
baseoid: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
accept_errors: true
- platform: template
sensors:
mt610_real_uptime:
friendly_name: Mt610 Real Uptime
value_template: >-
{% set time = states.sensor.mt610_uptime.state | int %}
{% set minutes = ((time % 360000) / 6000) | int%}
{% set hours = ((time % 8640000) / 360000) | int %}
{% set days = (time / 8640000) | int %}
{%- if time < 6000 -%}
Less than a minute
{%- else -%}
{%- if days > 0 -%}
{%- if days == 1 -%}
1 day
{%- else -%}
{{ days }} days
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours > 0 -%}
{%- if days > 0 -%}
{{ ', ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if hours == 1 -%}
1 hour
{%- else -%}
{{ hours }} hours
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes > 0 -%}
{%- if days > 0 or hours > 0 -%}
{{ ', ' }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if minutes == 1 -%}
1 minute
{%- else -%}
{{ minutes }} minutes
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}
So, when I put the above template sensor it the template tool, it works. It is off a couple of minutes, but it works.
When I save it to the yaml file that has the associated snmp sensor, save it and run a configuration check the configuration check just spins and never resolves.
Running the following on an i5 USSF.
Home Assistant 2023.8.4
Supervisor 2023.08.1
Operating System 10.5

Results of the template test:

I think this is associated from the logs during check…

im using this with a shunt in an off grid battery back up system. I have it working, but one thing id like to do is have it display the words “AC Power” when the unit is being charged. currently this code displays as per the attached photo when AC power is connected. Is there a way to do this.
Were you able to figure out how to resolve your problem?
Nope, would love to though.
