  • Atomic time source at NIST Gaithersburg failed on 6 December 2025, causing a -10 ms time step.
  • Affected servers include time-a-g (OS shutdown) and time-f-g (NTP service suspended).
  • Other servers continue operating as the time offset hasn't triggered their 'unhealthy' response.
  • A backup clock is available; replacement planned for 9 December 2025 with brief service disruption.
  • Servers at Boulder and WWV/Ft. Collins campuses remain unaffected.
