Timezone:
The time zone is always the same as the defined location's time zone.

Insights API

All dates and times are in the local time zone. The local time zone was chosen to make the data ready for presentation to end users.

Data management API

High-resolution data is in UTC. UTC was chosen to align with the industry standard for reporting high-resolution values.

Daily data is in the local time zone. Local time was chosen to simplify the input of finite periods without the need to break them up.
