why does the clock on my MacBook Air 2018 lose time.
thank you M.Shaffer,
It has been the cause of me not being able to get into website I subscribe to, like MLB, so I do know how to go in and put it to rights, but then without my noticing it, over a period of months it will lost 3/4 minutes.
The linked support article never mentions losing time as far as I can see, only setting time.
If the date or time is wrong on your Mac - Apple Support
Were any of the ideas - to check and change settings ~ in the linked support article - helpful?

Those are usual suspects; then maybe try one or another system reset, to troubleshoot Mac.
Or this ~ to help troubleshoot; can take up to 20 minutes to check the macOS, in Safe mode:
• How to use Safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

SMC, may help.

Or perhaps try NVRAM/PRAM reset?

..Good luck & happy computing.!

To verify an act of Setting the Time, is only first item among several should one be
interested in Troubleshooting the Device. ~ Could be a power reset or logical reset
may help. Even half-hour 'Safe mode' systems check on startup, may work by itself.
Those were a few items that I'd check and use as tests, to attempt a DIY reset.
Or you could try and contact Apple service, to see what suggestions they offer.
All together, the matter is really up to you; to try these items and see if any help.
As for me, I'm inconsequential. And I'm at home, not representative of Apple; &
certainly not compensated. ~ You may Contact Apple to see what they suggest.
