Mac dynamic wallpaper does not sync with the time zone change

I previously traveled from the US to Asia. However, my dynamic wallpaper, the Big Sur one, is not showing the picture at the correct time. The system still seems to use the American time zone for the wallpaper.

MacBook Air, macOS 14.2

Sonoma Wallpapers Finally got around to letting my iMac update to Sonoma. System automatically changed my wallpaper to "Sonoma Horizon" but it will NOT let me download any of the new wallpapers. I click download, it starts for a second and then immediately the download button pops right back up. Any ideas? Maybe just something that needs patched? I have tried restarting and shutting down completely and nothing seems to be working. :(

Advanced "Language & Region" Settings? Hello, In macOS Ventura, where can I access the previous advanced "Language & Region" settings? I'd like to revert my machine back to how it was with the GMT field listed in the "Medium" time display. So that I can view the GMT offset from the info panel from within Photos app. Like was outlined in this old post on the matter: Pics in photos are out of time order even… - Apple Community I cannot get this same behavior now with Ventura as this has been removed from the System Settings. Is there a Terminal command to change this setting?

Try and set a different wallpaper and after that select the big sur one again to see if the issues persist

I have the same issue, and changing to another and back did not make any difference for me.

It's 9:30 am local time now, and the Big Sur desktop is still night time.

It doesn't matter which dynamic desktop I choose, they will all render as night.
