TLDR: Device OPC server time needs to be correct if using On Change. Hullo peeps, Quick followup for anyone finding this! After a chat with support it was found that the OPC server time in the PLC that it was drawing from was wrong. When using 'On Change', the historian now takes the timestamp from the OPC server. The ability to use the local timestamp when using 'On change' was removed as per the below from Colby Clegg. > [@How to set the Timestamp Source to Value on a tag](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-set-the-timestamp-source-to-value-on-a-tag/26868/8): > > Hi, Sorry for the delay- this setting was removed in 8 in an effort to start to reduce the multiple layers of timing definition and to get down to single sources of data. The system timestamp only makes sense in situations where the system is scanning tags to collect values. In cases where the values are coming from the sources and being evaluated as they change, it makes sense to use the source timestamp. So, we’ve made the logic that was previous driven by this setting more implicit.

I setup history on a tag, and when it’s displayed in a sparkline or chart, it displays data from 6 hours ago. If I look at the database, the timestamp on the data is 6 hours in the future.
