Is getTime reliable?

Hello,

I have never come across a problem so far, but I was wondering if getTime is reliable? I don't know the infrastructure of PlayFab, but can this code sometimes return different time depending on the servers' locations?

var now = new Date().getTime();

// ... check time

I don’t think it returns different time depending on server’s location. You can refer to this JavaScript document: Date.prototype.getTime(), where it says, getTime() always uses UTC for time representation.
