    This looks like a clock or timezone issue, similar to this question.

    Google tells me that it is currently about 5 pm IST now. Given the time that you posted this (currently 5 hours ago), it should have been around noon your time?

    At this point, the issue may have resolved itself (via a WSL<->Windows clock sync) already, but if not, for WSL, try:

    • Confirm that your Windows clock and timezone are correctly set
    • In Ubuntu, sudo hwclock -s
    • Try again

    If that doesn't work:

    • From PowerShell, wsl --shutdown
    • Reboot the Windows host
    • Try again

    Also see WSL2 Clock is out of sync with Windows on Stack Overflow for some historical information on this.
