Units used when talking about CO2e

I thought these were the same thing? The e and the eq both mean “equivalent”. GWP = 1 CO2e
For other gasses it’s my understanding that this refers to average GWP impact after 20 years as compared to CO2. Some gasses have short lifetimes (Methane is 12.4 years) and some long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potential
