Hi,
I'm not using ntp so this issue is not impacting me (at least I'm not seeing an impact because of it), but I thought to report it in case it might be of impact to anyone else.
My client/PC is in ET timezone.

2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | Time Zone: -05:00:00 (EST-05EDT+01,M3.2.0/02:00,M11.1.0/02:00)
2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | 2025-11-29 15:09:46 Local computer time in UTC
2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | 2025-11-29 10:09:46 Local computer time in SC Time Zone
2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | 2025-11-29 15:09:37 Server time in UTC
2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | Local computer UTC time and Server UTC time difference: 8 seconds.
2025-11-29 10:09:46.131 | Notice: Your computer's clock is off by 8 seconds. Set the 'Global Settings >> NTP Settings >> NTP Client Enable' to 'Yes'.


I double checked, the time of the client is the correct one. Maybe the time on the server got impacted after the recent outage.

We will check but the time from our NTP server is correct. We verified that now. This other time you see, is not used to set time.
