Testnet: event="Consensus msg discarded" reason="too far in the future"

[PLombi100]

Describe the bug There appears to be an issue with either the node installer for (Testnet mode) or with Testnet itself.

After installing the node from curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://github.com/dusk-network/node-installer/releases/latest/download/node-installer.sh | sudo bash -s testnet numerous times starting from fresh VPS sessions each time I keep encountering the same issue where the block-height remains on 0. The rusk log shows the following message: event="Consensus msg discarded" reason="too far in the future".

I've tried ruskreset multiple times as well as re-synchronising my date-time to no avail.

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

At least one more node runner has claimed experiencing the same issue yesterday.

To Reproduce Simply following the instruction in https://docs.dusk.network/operator/guides/provisioner-node/ and choosing the node installer from the 'Testnet' tab.

Note, I have this happen every couple days on Mainnet as well -- just in case it could be the same cause:

Restarting rusk allows it to run properly again, in my case.
