SQL 'Last Hour' Query Overcounted by 18x Due to Time Zone Misconfiguration

A simple query to check crawler health returned drastically incorrect results, highlighting a common database pitfall.

●Builder Action:Developers must always be explicit about time zone handling in their database queries and data storage. Ensure that 'now' functions and stored timestamps are consistently interpreted, preferably using UTC. Failing to do so can lead to significant data misinterpretation and incorrect operational metrics, as demonstrated by the 18x overcount in this case.
