MacOs27 times in Battery settings seem wrong

Hey all,


Since switching to MacOS27 a few weeks ago I've noticed oddness in the MacOS battery settings panel. Specifically the times in the screen on usage and battery level don't seem to line up with the wall clock. In the attached, the system clock visible in the top right menu bar is showing ~4.30am Sept 26th, but the battery control panel is displaying levels as if its 10pm Sept 26th. Anyone else seeing this or know of a fix?

The advice below stands, since this is still occurring on macOS 27.0.1 (not surprising as that was a security patch, not a full update). Report the bug to Apple using the link below.

This has been reported by others and I see it, as well. It appears to be a bug in macOS 27.0. Bugs should be reported to Apple here:

After observing that the battery settings screen has been three hours ahead of the system clock it is suddenly showing the correct time. I am currently at 27.2 so this may have been fixed with the update to this version.

I'm having this problem, too...
