Metabase Relative Date Today Value

Get Help
1

Hi I have a query

select * from my_report
where 1 = 1
[[and {{order_date}}]]

To get current date time is

select now() from dual

This is now 4 Sept 2020, 3AM

If I execute above query on metabase using single date (calendar) if I choose 4 Sept it is correct not to show any data yet because it is still 3AM anyway.

If I execute above query on metabase using relative date and choose "Today" why it shows yesterday data?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @eric.halim
Please post “Diagnostic Info” from Admin > Troubleshooting, and which database you’re querying.
Timezones are some of the most complicated parts of Metabase. There’s a longer troubleshooting page:
