When did I last run "dnf upgrade"?

Version info: Fedora 34 (Workstation Edition)

Is there a way I could determine when was the last time I ran sudo dnf upgrade in my PC ?

dnf history

To reverse the listing:

dnf history --reverse

Thank You ersen.
Below is the last 21 lines of ā€œdnf history --reverseā€ output. I hope it will be readable after the formatting.
So, the last time I ran ā€œdnf upgradeā€ was on 11-July-2021 (ID 151), for which the ā€˜Actionā€™ column says ā€˜Upgradeā€™. Am I right ?

Prior to the above upgrade, I ran a ā€œdnf upgradeā€ on 21-June-2021 (ID 145) for which the ā€˜Actionā€™ colun says ā€œ?, E, I, O, Uā€. Donā€™t know what this means. But, will google it.

If you only want to know the last time you used upgrade, then use head to filter the results further.

$ dnf history | grep upgrade | head -n 1
   752 | -y upgrade                | 2021-07-22 23:27 | Upgrade        |   23

And you can find details of the record using history again.
