20241128T152345Z

20241128T152345Z is a timestamp that follows the ISO 8601 extended format, representing the date and time corresponding to 28 November 2024 at 15:23:45 in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The letter T serves as a delimiter between the date and the time, and the trailing Z indicates that the time is expressed with zero offset from UTC, commonly referred to as Zulu time.

The notation breakdown is straightforward: 2024 is the year, 11 is the month (November), 28 is the day, and 15:23:45 is the time of day in 24-hour notation. The Z suffix denotes that no local time offset is applied. This form is used to convey precise instants in a standardized, unambiguous manner across systems and time zones.

In practice, 20241128T152345Z may appear in logs, data interchange formats, APIs, and metadata to indicate when an event occurred or when data was recorded. It is compatible with ISO 8601 and is widely accepted in variants such as RFC 3339, which underpins timestamp syntax in many web services and database systems.

When processing this timestamp in software, it should be interpreted as UTC. If local time is required, a conversion to the appropriate time zone should be applied. The format avoids ambiguities arising from daylight saving time or regional time zone differences.
