Land -> Environment -> Use Region Settings in two adjacent regions (both of which are set to GMT-8) = sun at a different angle in each.

I opened a bug with support (#2561809) to see if maybe LL had recently changed the clock in one of the regions, and was told to vote for this other issue: https://feedback.secondlife.com/bug-reports/p/fix-eep-mainland-environment-cycle-are-way-too-dark
That doesn't look like the same problem to me. The other issue is about overall brightness, but THIS issue is about the SUN ANGLE being different on two border-adjacent parcels for no apparent reason, when the region and parcel settings would seem to suggest that it should be the same.
Investigation so far:
Albionâs region sun position is out of sync with adjoining Noyo even with the same GMT-8 offset. On my parcels (NE corner of Albion + SE corner of Noyo), both set to Use Region Settings, LSL confirms identical day lengths (14,400 seconds) and offsets (57,600 seconds). For Sky Altitudes, both parcels report using "(region environment)".
However, late in the day, the sun is visibly above the horizon in one while visibly below the horizon in the other! The same phenomenon can be seen at other times as well.
Near-simultaneous llGetRegionSunDirection() readings put Albionâs sun about 29° above the horizon and Noyoâs about 2° below it. Each parcelâs sun direction matches its own regionâs.
Reapplying Use Region Settings and relogging do not resolve this. Applying the same explicit day-cycle asset to both parcels makes them agree, but puts both of them out of sync (-8 hours doesn't mean the same sun position on these parcels that it does on neighboring parcels).
I think someone at LL may have recently changed the region settings in Albion as it wasn't like this a few days ago.
Please investigate Albionâs underlying region environment/day cycle and restore consistency with Noyo.

That's an old one simulator time and position of the Sun or moon can vary by either the browser not updating properly the viewer. I should say or somebody has altered the simulator by either a rollback or a temporary update.
