[SOLVED] PBS clock discrepancy

Why is there this discrepancy between these two clocks? PBS is running as a VM. PVE has the correct time.

I think it's causing this error:

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I restarted chrony, and it seems to be back in sync.
I don't know, but this may have happened when I paused PBS earlier. (??) If so, it seems something is not right between PVE and chrony running in a guest.
The package database update is also cleared up.
