Having a system on Armbian Focal 20.08:

$ timedatectl
               Local time: Fri 2020-10-30 09:15:48 UTC
           Universal time: Fri 2020-10-30 09:15:48 UTC
                 RTC time: Fri 2020-10-30 09:15:49    
                Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)       
System clock synchronized: yes                        
              NTP service: active                     
          RTC in local TZ: no

There was a power outage, followed by an automatic restart of the node. Here is an excerpt from the debug.log file:

This sounds like an issue with your hardware/OS. Bitcoin Core will ask the system for the current time. If that is wrong, there is nothing that can be done.
