Date and Time keeps changing on 2019 MacBook Pro

I have a 13in 2019 MacBook Pro and it works great! Holds a decent charge still, but lately I’ve noticed that even though my date and time is set to automatic, it keeps changing. In order to fix it I have to keep turning automatic date and time on and off, and I’m still having issues with it changing. Other than that issue, I’ve never had anything wrong with this computer. I primarily use it for college. It was purchased brand new.

Is your OS up to date? If not, start with that.

You don't need to upgrade, just make sure the current OS has no pending updates that can be applied.

Since a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to do disk repair, clear caches and other housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.

Does the same thing happen while in Safe mode?

You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.
