I am using {[System]Gateway/CurrentDateTime} to show the time in my title bar but the displayed time is off by 20 mins. When I checked the gateway, it was off by the same amount, but hovering over the time shows the correct time zone. What could be changing the time?

The Gateway/CurrentDateTime gets it's time from the operating system. You say that the gateway is also off by that same amount. That means the OS isn't getting the updated time. Maybe that port is being blocked or that server doesn't have access to the internet to get the time. Or the BIOS date is wrong on the computer and the OS is configured to not fetch the time from an external server. Just thinking out loud here.
