Wrong date and time

You can manually set the date and time by going to System Settings>General>Date & Time

1. Turn off "Set time and date automatically"
2. Then it will give you the option below it to manually set whatever Date and time you want.

I hope this helped.

I ran into a similar problem: the date & time was set automatically to time.apple.com, but it the date & time where wrong. About 2 years off.

Turning off automatically and setting date/time manually worked as a band-aid,

but when turning on automatic date/time again, it reverted back to the wrong date/time.

Here is how I was able to fix it (M1 MacBook Air):

• Turn off automatic date/time, and set date/time manually to correct date/time.
• Shut down
• Startup in safe mode
• In safe mode, go to settings, turn on automatic date/time again - in my case, I got the correct date/time 🎉
• Restart in normal mode

So far (couple of hours) date/time is still OK.
