Order_date and shipments created_date are changed

GraphQL API

are Order_date and created_date changed after creation?
I’ve found that when I pull shipments data, it’s exact same shipment (same shipment_id, order_id, order_number etc) but order_date and created_date were different.

For example,
Last night, when I pulled data

this morning, when I pulled data,

          },

I’ve deleted values for privacy, but they are exactly same but time of created_date and order_date are changed.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you

Hi @heyjess
Thanks for that detailed explanation!
Do you happen to have the request_id by any chance? That way I can see if there are any discrepancies between the queries and see what might be happening

Thanks in advance!
Tom

I’ve figured out that this is because of UTC time difference. :sweat_smile:
