Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

Due to external confluence of circumstances, my laptop wound up being an hour off from the correct time. When Actual attempted to sync, it told me that there was a "problem syncing your changes" but didn't give any information about what the problem was. If the file was deleted locally, attempting to redownload produced this message:
image

It would be preferable to display something about time disagreement, etc. to point the user in the direction of identifying the failure. I don't think Actual needs to create custom error messages for this specific case, but if the error that appears in the browser console (something about "maximum clock drift exceeded") made it a little higher in the stack, this would have been much easier to find and fix.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Windows 11
