Read the time in context
Times below preserve the source’s event and platform. PT is resolved as America/Los_Angeles on the specified date; the selected IANA timezone handles daylight saving.
The earlier midnight-local schedule was overtaken by the worldwide announcement. Its conversion remains historical and does not predict when an individual account became playable.
Publication time for an announcement is not a measured server activation time. A passed scheduled time does not prove availability or mark a continuing event ended.
Unannounced clocks
No recurring Vendor reset time or universal DMZ daily-reset instant is established by these sources. Those clocks stay unknown; the converter does not invent midnight or a countdown.
