timedatectl
produces the following output:
Local time: Tue 2022-05-10 01:07:46 UTC
Universal time: Tue 2022-05-10 01:07:46 UTC
RTC time: Tue 2022-05-10 01:07:46
Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
I see that the system clock is synchronized with NTP, but how synchronized is "synchronized"? How frequently is NTP consulted, and if the connection to the NTP server is lost, at what point will the system decide that the clock is no longer in sync?
