Probably due to using systemd-timesyncd which I've never seen actuall
working. Install the ntp service and it will work.

It's one of the many parts of Bookworm I've had to junk and restore
the way I did things in Bullseye.

timesyncd works fine.  Make sure that the route to the internet isn't
blocked.  Use the command timedatectl show-timesync --all to see where
timesyncd is looking for time.  You can always specify NTP servers in
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.  Use timedatectl status to see what it is
doing.

Of course the route to the internet isn't blocked, ntp and everything
else works fine.

Even if systemd-timesyncd did work there is no good reason to hand over
even more control of the machine to the insidious expanding mess of
systemd. There are alternatives which do one thing and one thing well,
systemd should just stick to being an init system.
