There is a Russian cosmonaut who got stuck up in one of the space stations for a really long time. I believe it was Mir. Russia was having some difficulties at the time and they couldn't send up a replacement for him. He experienced something like 0.18 second of time dilation by being up there for so long. He is credited with having time traveled and holds a world record for it.

I don't think it could be that much because you would have to spend over 10 years on ISS in order for you to "lose" 0.18 seconds.

Just looked it up and you're right. It was 0.02 seconds. 748 days aboard Mir over several missions. https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/time/time-travel#:~:text=Cosmonaut%20Sergei%20Avdeyev%20spent%20a,he%20never%20traveled%20in%20space.
There is also a YouTube video about it on the "Half As Interesting" channel.
