As long as you still show which tz it is! :)

GCP's various products have gotten a lot better at this lately, but just a few months ago I could click around between various dashboards and explorers, some showing the time in UTC, some in your browser's tz, and some in your profile's tz (if I recall correctly). Some of them were showing the tz, and for some you had to guess. Sometimes you had multiple tzs on the same page. Sometimes the date picker for a control was in one tz and the widget it was controlling in another (leading to quite a lot of confusion).

The worst offence IMO was not showing the tz at all. Especially given the overall lack of consistency.
