Are you storing this timestamp in UTC? It's expected to be "behind" by 8 hrs if your timezone is +8 GMT. Run this timestamp under a time function (depends on what language you're using) and get the local time from there to get the "correct" time.

Actually, there is a problem with the timezones. My app is moving dates in UTC with ISO format. I always store UTC in th DB. I am in CET timezone (+2 from GMT/UTC due to summer time). On Neon's table explorer, my created_at automatically-filled column is -5h, while it should be -2. Is there a timezone setting maybe in Neon that I haven't found?

@koslib and @thisjt Can you share the code with which you're inserting data containing the dates?

Pretty sure this is the same thing I experience, as explained here: https://discord.com/channels/1176467419317940276/1283752616752451594
