User level: Level 1 (4 points)As you can see in the attached image the battery was charged to 100% at 03:30 which is correct, but as you can see from the battery level it says it reached 100% just before 9am in the morning, also if you look at the screen on time it's logging todays usage at 21:00 right now but it's 16:00, the screen on and battery level graphical bars are correct, but the hours indicated associated below them are not, is there a way to correct this?

I see the same behavior, where the last charged to 100% time is correct but the usage graph X-axis labels are shifted by several hours.
The current time is in the middle of the graph, clearly not correct.
This is not something that is under the user's control and appears to be a bug in macOS.

I would approach this by either:

Yes that is odd;

I would simply ignore the interface and worry about something else...
The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you help optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.

I could I guess but I like to monitor my SOT usage and it's a strange bug and wanted to try and fix it, if all fails I'll try a factory reset.
edit -
Just found a few people with the same issue after updating to MacOS 27 so I'm going to assume it's a Golden Gate bug!

Yes it's set as automatic based on location, I've tried toggling it on and off.
No VPN installed or being used.
I've just tried manually setting the time wrong and toggling it back to auto and still right now showing my latest usage in the 21:00 section.
