I just noticed, the PF clock is nearly 4 hours behind my local time. Is there something wrong with the PF clock or am I the only one facing this problem?
Something wrong with PF clock?
- Thread starter Reshma
- Start date
In summary, the conversation is about the PF clock being behind the local time by 4 hours and the users discussing whether everyone is facing this issue or if it's just a problem for a few. The clock has been off for over a month and seems to be drifting on its own, causing inconvenience for users. However, it is now showing the correct time.

Yes, you're right. My profile is set to EST (-5 hours) but PF reports 4 hours behind EST.

This has been going on for over a month now. I know it's not that big a deal, but it seems like a pretty simple thing to fix. What's going on?

The clock seems to have acquired a mind of its own and keeps drifting. It was only an hour off for a while, and suddenly jumped to 4 hours off. It means you're supposed to hang around 4 hours longer.
