The second snippet doesn't seem to work. Firstly there are three typos, which I've submitted an edit for, but the main problem is that the DEBUG trap seems to get called before the PROMPT_COMMAND as well, meaning the time gets reset. Maybe that didn't happen in older versions of Bash, idk.

The history method doesn't work when you have HISTCONTROL=ignoredups enabled and run the same command twice in a row.
