Going back quite a few years here, but the time set by the Kobo Utilities writes a file called epoch.conf to .kobo directory. This file contains the number of seconds since 1970-Jan-01 midnight UTC. It is a fixed number. You need to configure your Kobo timezone setting. What timezone do you have configured under Setttings => Date and time => Time zone? Given you are in Britain, pick a large city near you. When I tested London, the timezone was set to UTC+1 which would appear correct for daylight savings time (BST) there

At Mon, 31 Mar 2025 12:18:02 PDT, the epoch time was 1743448682.
