datetime.datetime.now() is five minutes off
I'm currently developing a django backend. I use auto_now_add=True in my model to populate a start point on create(). I use datetime.datetime.now() to add an endpoint on update(). The entire code for that is datetime.datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=pytz.timezone(settings.TIME_ZONE).
Here's an example for an instance that was created at 2023-01-21T19:26:04.561888Z and updated only seconds later.
As you can see, the endpoint populated on update() is somehow before the startpoint, which is not intended behavior.
Thank you

Some additional information: When printing, the result looks like this
2023-01-21 20:40:57.840847+01:05. I have absolutely no idea why the timezone is set as +01:05 2023-01-22 00:55:05
The comments here might be interesting. The conclusion there (and in other answers) seems to be to avoid pytz if you can.

What is your
settings.TIME_ZONE value? 2023-01-22 00:55:05
It's Europe/Vienna
