Hello, I'm really new to the Elastic Stack and I'm currently working on some dashboards that will rely on time series built using Timelion. I'm working on Kibana 6.8 and I have a totally unexpected issue: whenever I select TODAY, or TODAY SO FAR in the date picker, my timeline always starts at 9AM. If I revert back to LAST N HOURS or any other time filters (absolute or not), the data comes back to normal. But this is very annoying because I would ilke to lock the "TODAY" filter on my dashboard. For example, with TODAY SO FAR : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/2/82decea2c36c372519b8fd4271d1d6713c379f20.png) VS LAST 12 HOURS : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/d/4dc8d011bb7248b60af0395d38eab07ea18942a3.png) I don't understand what can cause this. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for your help, Regards, Anthony ---

Hi Anthony, Have you configured the [`dateformat:tz` setting in Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/advanced-options.html#kibana-general-settings)? It might be [this bug](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/12678) which appears to only have been fixed in version 7.6. ---

Hello Nick, Thanks a lot for your fast response. For now, I kept the default settings here, meaning "Browser". But just right now I tried to update it to "Europe/Paris" for example, but it still starts at 9AM ☹ So potentially no workaround here except bumping to a more recent version of Kibana which is not possible for me at the moment unfortunately?

Hi Anthony, Unfortunately, I do not see a workaround for this bug in Timelion. Is it possible to create your visualization using a different application like [TSVB](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/time-series-visual-builder.html)? ---
