#22375 reports a valid bug which is that
timestampInSeconds()may return an inaccurate time stamp, since we don't detect clock drift between theperformance.timeOrigin + performance.now()timestamp andDate.now().This PR intentionally only partially fixes this problem by adding a clock drift check only to the initial
timestampInSecondscall. This should account for cases where the monotonicperformance.now()clock is already off at SDK init time but won't catch clock drift later on.From here we have two options:
timestampInSecondscall until then.Date.now(). This should give us more accurate timing overall but:PerformanceEntryentries, which include relative timestamps that might have also suffered from clock drift.I also still need to look at the
sent_atheader which should prompt Relay to perform clock-drift normalization but I'm not yet sure to which extent.Keeping this draft as a possible mitigation open for now
