Does Changing the Display Timezone Affect My Billing Cycle?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Changing your display timezone in the Vultr Customer Portal only affects how time data is shown and does not impact your actual billing cycle.


No, modifying your display timezone only changes how time-related data is presented in the Vultr Customer Portal. This includes:

  • Time and date stamps in activity logs.
  • Monitoring graphs and metrics.
  • Support ticket timestamps.
  • Scheduled events and backups.

However, Vultr's billing system operates strictly on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). All invoices, usage calculations, and billing cycle resets are timestamped and processed in UTC, regardless of your display timezone preference. This ensures global consistency and avoids timezone-based discrepancies in billing.
