Tks Benjamin ! I realized that n8n is defined for New York time zone and I can’t change it (I’m using n8n on Cloudfy) and I’ve let explicit on prompt to use my time (GMT -3). Still fail. :frowning:

Hi @dzgdigital Welcome to the community!
Open any workflow then head over to the top right section, click on the 3 dots, then settings, there you will be able to edit that with the settings must be looking like this:

And now just tweak it however you want, the AI models are good but even it is hard for them to predict the timezone, so just configure it for yourself and things should be working fine. Cheers! :smile:

welcome to the n8n community @dzgdigital
I’d make sure the datetime sent to the node already includes an explicit timezone, for example a full ISO value with offset like 2026-04-10T10:00:00-03:00, or I’d normalize it first with the Luxon/Date & Time node using the correct workflow timezone.

If I were running n8n self-hosted, I’d also double-check the instance timezone and make sure GENERIC_TIMEZONE=America/Sao_Paulo is set correctly, since n8n uses that setting for date and time handling.

@dzgdigital if you cannot change it , as it should not be happening because on any self hosted n8n that option can be easily tweaked, but for now if you cannot do that, i think you need to go down under the hood and SSH into the VPS and manually configure that env timezone variable. Although i think you could have just opened up n8n UI and select any workflow and then follow what i have said that might have fixed the issue. (basically doing it via UI)

@dzgdigital
If nothing works, you can always handle it by converting the timezone directly in your date/time expressions.
