> I’ve done some investigation and the only real clue I have is this [PR #34592](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/34592/files), which was merged around the time we started experiencing the issue, late August/early September. I think it’s related because it allows the client’s time to be used as timestamps for messages, and it would fit nicely as an explanation for some the issues we’re having. I’m not entirely sure if the PR is related though, since there are some oddities that don’t really add up, but I think it’d be a good place to start looking.

Yes that was supposed to fix this problem, and I still think it does in many cases, but your report might show there’s a flaw in this logic.

Will try to investigate in coming weeks, thanks.
