Time Zone setting in Account does not affect Created Date for ARB Subscriptions

[kevinreedspeak]

I am currently creating ARB subscriptions via the dotnet sdk.

I am located in CST.

My sandbox is setup with Time Zone UTC. When I create a ARB subscription via the API, the "Created Date" ends up being -6hrs my current time. ie if I submit one at 14:00 CST, it shows up as "Created Date" 08:00(-6hrs).

If I change the system time zone to CST, the same thing happens. If I create a ARB subscription via the API with the system time zone set as CST at 14:00 CST it shows up in the ARB list as being created at 08:00(-6hrs).

Even weirder is that this morning my auth.net system time zone was set to CST. I created a ARB subscription via the api at 09:00 and it showed up in the ARB list as being created at 15:00!!! (+6hrs) How is this possible?

How do I make sure that the system has the correct time zone for my subscription creation dates?

http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/#recurring-billing-get-a-list-of-subscriptions

there response is always in UTC

And we don't pass the created datetime, it whatever datetime on authorize.net server, and not your pc/account settings.

Ah ok, I see the subscription "Created Date" is always in UTC. Thanks
