    It seems like Ubuntu has fixed the issue, at least for me.
    I have it fully updated and it is reporting the correct date/time.

    I'm having the same issue, latest version of Parallels 20 and Debian 12, running on a M2 Mac Mini. After I manually change the time and enable automatic time sync again, it immediately reverts to the wrong time in the future, to March 2120. It only works again after I reboot the VM.

    Got the same issue, which again creates lots of issues for me. Any fix for this yet?

    It seems to be on the ubuntu side.
    What I've started doing is backup the vm before updating, do the updates, restart the vm a time or two to be sure the time issue isn't present.
    If it is, I revert the vm and wait on updating it.
    If it is fine, I go ahead and backup after the updates too.
    It was broken last time, around February 17th or at least that seems to be when I spotted the problem and reverted.

    I have not seen any resolution. For now, I have disabled automatic snapshots of the affected VM. (I only run one Ubuntu VM). And then, I make sure that I shutdown the VM before taking a manual snapshot every few weeks.

    In that case this issue exists on both 22.04 and 24.04.

    Chiming in with a "me too!" comment. I have an ARM Ubunut 24.04 VM running on my M3, Parallels Desktop 20.2.2. The time change is intermittent but quite often, and very annoying. Rebooting clears the problem, but there is no guarantee that it won't pop up. I happen to have the current date/time in my shell prompt, and I've seen the problem manifest while the VM is basically idle (the prompt shows the correct time, I hit return and it shows the wrong time).

    I reread this entire thread and saw the earlier post regarding SmartGuard. I tested that: checked that the date/time was correct, manually created a snapshot, checked date/time again. The date indeed jump 95 years into the future, and that was the only activity between the two date/time checks.

    I've disabled SmartGuard until this issue is resolved.
