Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Kindly ignore the response by the bot earlier.
Please note that this is the default behavior of the plugin. This was changed some time ago to update the actual date and not the timezone, so you’ll see that your time in the sitemap already includes the timezone offset correctly added to the time from UTC.
We hope this helps. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.
Thank you.
