Hey,
Is anyone else having issues with the ACF time field values being changed on save with the WordPress 5.3 update?
I have Regina set as the timezone in the WordPress settings and whenever I save an ACF time value it moves it 6 hours ahead. It’s currently 6pm in Regina so not sure if that relates.
Example 10am turns into 4pm and 5:30pm turns into 11:30pm

I’m having this exact same issue and I was hoping to find a solution here.
When I set a date for 2nd May 2020 and hit save it resets the date to 1st May.
Yep same issue here.
Dates are correct, but hours always get pushed back 1 hour.
Same here; The clue could be that the hours are being pushed 5 hours foreward for me, and I am in EST.
I figured out the issue I was having. I was using date_default_timezone_set() to set the default timezone in my functions.php file. Removing this made the times go back to the correct ones. I guess there’s some sort of conflict with using this PHP function and WordPress 5.3’s new date and time improvements.
In my case I need to use this date_default_timezone_set() function, otherwise my days are off.
So this is not specifically an ACF issues, but a WP5.3 issue with the change in the date_i18n() function?
if change de date_i18n() from de ACF plugin files to wp_date()
I think it works, don’t forget to backup the ACF dir.

That is not a solution, but a workaround not usable in many cases.
This workarround works for me. I change date_i18n() to wp_date() in api-helpers.php and i get back “real” time on my site.
