Sonoma 14.1 Date and time incorrect

I entered the following command in Terminal, and that fixed the problem!

sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com

Even though the source time in the Date & Time settings already showed "Apple (time.apple.com.)", it apparently still was using time.apple.com properly. I hope this helps others!

Tried terminal reset (immediately updates but then reverts) and reinstalling OS - still reverts to yesterday?

What else can I try?

If automatic is not working for you— then disable that setting

Set the date and time automatically on your Mac - Apple Support

I've manually set the time, and that worked for the day yesterday.

Packed up and went home.

Got back to work this morning and my machine was showing the time that I left the office.

As if I pressed pause on a stopwatch when I closed the MacBook, and then unpaused it when I opened it again 17 hours later.

Added to that, every time I set the time to update automatically the date changes to 22 Aug 2023 and the clock loses 30 minutes.

This happens both when the timezone is set automatically by location, and when it is not.

This must be a bug with how the OS interprets the server time.

the solution in this post here fixed it for me: Mac (version sonoma 14.1.1) gave me wrong… - Apple Community

I've got the same issue since my macbook ran out of battery and I have recently installed Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81.

When I manually set the time it works but every time I activate automatic time setting via apple.time.com it goes back to April 2019...

Is this something that they will change in a Sonoma update?

I've had the same problem when my battery ran out when I was travelling home. Since then nothing I do fixes the issue.

I tried those steps but unfortunately it did not help.

you are a lifesaver, thank you!!!!
