I can not reproduce the issue in my system. Try to check if your system time and timezone is correct.

in msys2 ，i use this ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai /etc/localtime

[maryjeck]

I use ZSH for msys2.

when I restart msys2 ,I type zsh again, that is OK, no time difference .

I don't know what's happed?

Who can tell me why?

[maryjeck]

I found the reason。 In my env , "python3" is set "alias python3='/usr/bin/winpty python3'"

When I use "/mingw64/bin/python3" ,that is OK.

so , Does the "winpty" has some config that we don't understand/?

winpty is just like simple pipe. It should not modify time.
