dayjs fromNow() calculation based on utc time and not local time

I receive from server date in epoch format and I try to apply dayjs fromNow() method. However - the timestamp is in UTC format and I want to use fromNow() only in the sense of UTC. As I observed (and as docs suggest), fromNow() depends on relative time and it calculates the difference based on user's local time (in my case - european). It then sometimes show results in the future (e.g. 'in 4 minutes'). Is there a way to calculate difference solely based on utc time?

Here is some sample code

dayjs(dayjs.utc(dayjs.unix(1640857817))).fromNow()

Thanks in advance for your help!
