The clock on my Mac Book Pro has started falling behind about an 1 hour a day - for example today the time showed 11:33 AM, but the actual time was 12:41 PM. System is set to set time and date automatically to time.apple.com and date and time zone show correct.
If I toggle setting the time off and then back on the time updates to the correct time. Mac Book is pre M1 from 2020 and is running Sonoma 14.1.1. No new software has been installed before this issue started.
If anyone has any ideas or has been seeing anything like this let me know if you were able to resolve.
Thanks!
verify your software is up to date…
The current stable release of Sonoma including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 14.2 - I would start there.
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

You can simply turn off "Automatically" — this is a valid option that allows for manual set your time, to solve your issue.
no resolve—
you can sync with Apple's time server from the Terminal.app copy & paste
sudo sntp -sS time.apple.com
(note—your psswd will not echo on screen, type it in any way use the enter\return key to proceed.)
reboot and compare your results
For date & time issues, there is a bug in Sonoma that can be further resolved —
from the Terminal.app copy & paste:
sudo rm /var/db/timed/com.apple.timed.plist
this will remove the corrupt plist. reboot and compare your results
