<p>I have used <code>kubectl get pods -n somenamespace</code> but it gives the <code>AGE</code> and not how much time has passed after the pod has gone to terminating state.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>You have to get the pod name using the following command</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>$ kubectl get pods -n somenamespace | grep Terminating
some-pod-7c5d849f6b-qv48m             1/1     Terminating   0          17h
</code></pre>
<p>Then you can run the following command to get what you need</p>
<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>$ kubectl describe pod some-pod-7c5d849f6b-qv48m -n somenamespace | grep Terminating
Status:                    Terminating (lasts 3h10m)
</code></pre>
