The [`responsetime`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/1.2/exported-fields-measurements.html#_responsetime) is reported in milliseconds. It is reported as an integer and not a float, so there could be some loss of precision, but mostly minimal since the value is reported in milliseconds.
