Automatically Set Time is work

I am running a MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019 with MacOS 14.1.2 (23B92). Ever since updating last weekend I am having an issue with my time. For some reason when I have the setting "Set time and date automatically" turned on it is exactly 18 hours behind the source time. Things that did not fix the issue so far:

Turning the feature on and off again (did not do anything)
Changing the source (apple to google)
Enabling and disabling setting time based no location
Brute force like this works (temporarily)

Do you think this could be it or are there other ideas / takers?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

There is a known bug in Sonoma...

You have options:

—turn off the "automatically" and set manually.

or

—from the Terminal.app removing the current plist copy & paste:

sudo rm /var/db/timed/com.apple.timed.plist

note—your psswd will not echo on screen, type it in any way use the enter\return key to proceed.

reboot to compare your results
