My Question or Issue

Apparently there's something wrong with timezone handling, as Spotify can display a future timestamp for a released song/album.
Screenshot taken at 01:26 UTC+2 (CEST) on 15.10.2024:

So theoretically this song is from future, but I can already listen to it.


By using kaaes.github.io/albums-availability to see what the Spotify API says about this, I can see that the album has

"release_date": "2024-10-15",
"release_date_precision": "day",

For these parameters, I'd expect to see "1 hour and 26 minutes ago", since it is the release date here for 1h26min already.
