Consider a graph of the last 7 days’ rainfall with an X axis labelled by the hour. Should the labels be redrawn with the revised TZ? Or the old ones kept as-was and only new ones changed? Does it make more sense to see

is this really complicated?
a) UTC is unaffected by timeline so there is a monotonically increasing clock
b) the difference in intent between
Delay forSeconds:
and something like
Delay until:
should be clear. One is a duration, the other takes some time stamp. The time stamp can convey the time zone or its absence and so the utc for the expiry should be determinable no?
