Difference between DateTimeZone.UtcNow() and DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow()

[moonlit337]

Hello. Can anyone help explain what are the differences between using DateTimeZone.UtcNow() and DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow()?

The only difference in the documentation for FixedUTCNow is the following statement:

This value is fixed and will not change with successive calls.

But honestly, I don't understand what this sentence mean. Can anyone help explain with examples?

Hi @moonlit337 

I'm not pretty sure, but I think that it is related with time zones that changes between winter/summer times. I mean, fixed UTC will never work right with countries like Germany or Spain.

Hi @mlsx4 , I don't think that is what it means though, since the statement did not say about "time", but rather about "successive calls". 

I think this would mean if someone refreshes the data very frequently in short interval, it will not change by the second or minute, but when I try to refresh it frequently the datetime still change each time.
