Yeah, as soon as they said 11PM I realized, ` they're using EST as the timezone? ` which would just do it at that time for everyone using the doc? I don't work with raw date objects in JavaScript very much, is that illogical behavior from it's Date object?

It’s totally feasible; if the server is using JS and is located in ET the parsed Date tends to be converted internally to local zone (very frustrating).

The Temporal spec[1] should alleviate a lot of the JS induced pain. Knowing how to correctly store and manipulate time data, however is a completely separate issue that even really experienced engineers can easily mess up, even with solid STD lib support.
