How to change time zone on email delivery...

[LuisCastaneda]

I am sharing a Looker Studio report using the Schedule delivery option.

The problem is that the time zone on the email delivery window is wrong.

How do I change it?

Can you try changing your system time? E.g. on a Mac: System Settings > Date & Time. You might need to turn off the automatic settings and manually set the time zone you want.

They are set for Central (Chicago).

Hmm. I notice that your time server is time.apple.com, while mine is time.google.com. Does changing your server to time.google.com have any effect? You might have to restart your computer...

Did not fix it.

Which browser are you using? In both Chrome and Safari, if I change my Mac timezone as described previously, that is reflected in the Looker Studio scheduling UI. Just as a test, does it work if you select a very different timezone, such as somewhere in Europe or Asia? 

[LuisCastaneda]

Yes, it works.

When I switch back to a US city (Chicago), it takes it to Mexico City.

The problem is that Mexico is GMT-6 and Chicago is GMT-5.

Why it defaults to Mexico City?

Okay I can see the same issue. I've reported it to the developers. Apologies for the trouble!
