What timezone does mixpanel use?

Hi Philip, Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

Mixpanel records all events in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) at intake. However, for projects created before January 1, 2023, event timestamps are stored based on the project’s timezone setting at the time of ingestion. Changing the project’s timezone in settings only affects how Mixpanel outputs results, not how data is stored. When exporting or importing data, it’s recommended to use UTC to ensure consistency and correct display in your project. For more details, see the official documentation on managing timezones in Mixpanel here.
