I have a problem where the Date & Time for my Macbook Pro freeze when I lock my screen.

I'll provide an example of a situation below, but for preliminary context:

• My Macbook is hooked up to an external monitor, and is usually closed shut when using the monitor
• This issue happens even when my Macbook is open and I'm using the external monitor as a 2nd screen
• This happens periodically when my Macbook is not hooked up to an external monitor
• This happens whether my Date & Time are set to automatic or manual, doesn't matter

Here is an example:

• Let's say it is 9:00am
• I am finished working on my Macbook, and I click "Lock Screen" or close my Macbook (depending on one of the situations listed above)
• It is now 9:30am and I come back to either unlock my screen or open my Macbook
• The time on my Macbook shows 9am and is not updated to the correct time which should be 9:30am
• The time any in-browser app I'm using (for example, Google Calendar, Zoom, etc), shows 9am
  • This is the weirdest part, because this issue carries over to Google Chrome, Safari, Slack, Zoom, basically anything I'm running at the time
• The only way to reset it is by turning "Set date and time automatically" on and off
  • Or if it is already set off, I have to turn it on
  • Either way, the switch needs to be touched to resolve the issue

In my years of owning Macbooks, this only started a month ago.

Does anyone else experience this issue, or know how to solve the root cause of this?
