Account recovery request - Time conversion for reset message

I live in Western Australia which is 8 hours ahead of GMT and am awaiting an account recovery message from Apple.

Apple has told me I will receive a text or phone call to my iPhone "on 30 March 2025 at 18:13:41 GMT + 8 ".

What I can't understand is whether I will receive the message/call at 6.13 pm West Australian Time (WAT) on Sunday 30 March, or whether it means I will receive it at 6.13pm plus 8 hours (ie 2.13am WAT) on Monday 31 March.

If the latter is the case, it is highly inconvenient, and probably why I missed the previous reset which never occurred at a similarly scheduled time about a week ago, despite my having the phone at my side from around 6pm. However, if that's what it is, guess I'll just have to suck it up.

Grateful for clarification.

It sounds to me you'll contacted at 6:13 pm your time.

You should expect a text or phone call on 31 March at 02:13:41, which is 8 hours after 18:13:41 GMT on March 30.

Stated another way, you should expect a text or phone call at 2:13:41 AM on March 31
