The classic timezone problem! Two things I’d check:

First, the GENERIC_TIMEZONE environment variable. It needs to be set to your exact timezone, e.g. Europe/Berlin or Africa/Lagos.

And in the Date/Time nodes, make sure to enable “Use workflow timezone” — otherwise n8n will ignore the variable completely and fall back to UTC.

If you’re using n8n Cloud: Settings. Workflow settings, timezone. For self-hosted, just adjust it in the .env file.
