@edgufink During is within a period of time (ex. The wreck happened during the snowstorm.) Within is about a time limit. (Ex. Respond to this email within 2 hrs.) If you try the opposite words in the sentences, it might make even more sense.

“During” is used only in reference to time while it’s happening.
For example,
“I ate my lunch during my break.”
“Within” usually refers to location, but can also refer to time. You can use “within” like “inside” (although it’s not very common).
Some examples:
“The fire is within the building!”
“Please complete your assignment within the week.”
“I will be there within the hour!”
