# Timezones
|
||||
|
||||
Moltbot standardizes timestamps so the model sees a **single reference time**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Message envelopes (local by default)
|
||||
|
||||
Inbound messages are wrapped in an envelope like:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Provider ... 2026-01-05 16:26 PST] message text
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The timestamp in the envelope is **host-local by default**, with minutes precision.
|
||||
|
||||
You can override this with:
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
envelopeTimezone: "local", // "utc" | "local" | "user" | IANA timezone
|
||||
envelopeTimestamp: "on", // "on" | "off"
|
||||
envelopeElapsed: "on" // "on" | "off"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `envelopeTimezone: "utc"` uses UTC.
|
||||
- `envelopeTimezone: "user"` uses `agents.defaults.userTimezone` (falls back to host timezone).
|
||||
- Use an explicit IANA timezone (e.g., `"Europe/Vienna"`) for a fixed offset.
|
||||
- `envelopeTimestamp: "off"` removes absolute timestamps from envelope headers.
|
||||
- `envelopeElapsed: "off"` removes elapsed time suffixes (the `+2m` style).
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
**Local (default):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Signal Alice +1555 2026-01-18 00:19 PST] hello
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fixed timezone:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Signal Alice +1555 2026-01-18 06:19 GMT+1] hello
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Elapsed time:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Signal Alice +1555 +2m 2026-01-18T05:19Z] follow-up
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool payloads (raw provider data + normalized fields)
|
||||
|
||||
Tool calls (`channels.discord.readMessages`, `channels.slack.readMessages`, etc.) return **raw provider timestamps**.
|
||||
We also attach normalized fields for consistency:
|
||||
|
||||
- `timestampMs` (UTC epoch milliseconds)
|
||||
- `timestampUtc` (ISO 8601 UTC string)
|
||||
|
||||
Raw provider fields are preserved.
|
||||
|
||||
## User timezone for the system prompt
|
||||
|
||||
Set `agents.defaults.userTimezone` to tell the model the user's local time zone. If it is
|
||||
unset, Moltbot resolves the **host timezone at runtime** (no config write).
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: { defaults: { userTimezone: "America/Chicago" } }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The system prompt includes:
|
||||
- `Current Date & Time` section with local time and timezone
|
||||
- `Time format: 12-hour` or `24-hour`
|
||||
|
||||
You can control the prompt format with `agents.defaults.timeFormat` (`auto` | `12` | `24`).
|
||||
|
||||
See [Date & Time](/date-time) for the full behavior and examples.
