ah thanks Scruff that’s so helpful to know it only does it the once under normal circumstances and explains an awful lot.  
It looks like I’m not [alone](https://community.particle.io/t/time-synchronisation-accuracy/7621/3) in [finding](https://community.particle.io/t/time-from-core-library-off-by-13-seconds-or-so/15844) that the device time isn’t very accurate even when it has been recently set, either.

I previously had [problems](https://community.particle.io/t/scheduled-time-sync-not-executing/44772) running a scheduled sync but I’m a bit older and a bit wiser now so happy to give it another go! 🙂
