The time zone (date and time) play a vital role in any operating system since from there many services work and applications will work correctly, for this reason, when a macOS device is installed and configured for the first time, or whether we reinstall it, during this process there is a section to configure the time zone . Sometimes if we do not have the automatic date and time activated, it is possible that when we change the geographical area or for the proper functioning of the system we will find some related problem. It is important to always keep in mind the option to update Mac date and time and that they are not out of date. So you have to know how to change Mac date and time manually..
