How many seconds ago is the past used in the past tense?

Although the words are just said, his meaning (mean) has not changed until now, and it has always been this meaning (mean), so if you say "what do you mean", if you ask what you just said, use did, because the words were said in the past.

I think it's fair to say that:

what do you mean?- Because the content of mean is still in the present tense.

Or. what did you mean by that?Adding this sentence refers to what he said just in the past, so use the past tense.

what do you mean

What did you mean cannot be used in a direct face-to-face conversation

If all this is done in the past tense, wouldn't there be no place to use the present tense? ~~

what do you mean?What do you mean?

what did you mean?What did you mean at the time? (Asked after the fact).

what do you mean?Because that's what he means now.
