14.5

There was an issue early on in Sonoma — I thought got resolve..

from the Terminal.app copy & paste:

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

this will remove the corrupt plist.

(note—your psswd will not echo on screen type it in anyway, use the enter\return key to proceed. Quit Terminal.)

Reboot and compare your results

I already tried that. I also set the computer up as new, to no avail.

A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot  as normal and test.  Caches get rebuilt automatically.

I would run the command again.

On Intel additionally you can try both, no harm in either:

—Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NVRAM Reset)

—Try resetting the  System Management Controller  Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support 

No resolve—

Like the title says, my not-very-old MBP has clock issues. After wiping and setting up as new again, the issue persists. Is my machine permanently fried? It has not sustained any water or physical damage.

what macOS?
