Automatic Date & Time always changing
I'm encountering a persistent issue with the Clock and Date on my MacBook Pro 2019, which don't stay correct despite being set to "Automatic." After shutdown, sleep, or disconnecting from power, the date and time revert to a day back and a different hour.
Two changes occurred on the same day, and I'm wondering if they might be related:
- I upgraded to Sonoma.
- I replaced my MacBook charger.
Despite trying solutions like the "sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com" command in the terminal (which worked for a while!) the problem persists. Some sources suggest a dead backup battery, but my MacBook is fully functional, so I'm unsure about that. Is it time to consider an upgrade?
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.1
