Hello everyone,
I have uploaded data to the Azure Digital Twin cloud and want to get the lastUpdateTime (TimeStamp) of the Digital Twin instance. However, after updating over 90000 json patches twice, I retrieved one digital twin instance always with the incorrect lastUpdateTime, which is even earlier than my recorded timestamp. All other eight instances have no such issue. Any ideas what could cause this issue? Could it be because of internal processes?
After that i tried several times the other day and this time another digital instance has the same problem.
I appreciate for any help. Thanks in advance.

welcome to this moderated community forum.
To make it easier for members to answer your question, can you share some context?
Which region are you using?
Can you share the model or at least the context id (dtdl version)?

2023-09-01T08:28:37.1533333+00:00 @Sander van de Velde | MVP Thanks for informing. Here are some data i would like to share:
The 1st screenshot shows the timestamp i recorded before executing UpdateDigitalClient in my program while there are 10901 times data update for each digital twin instance (in total 9 instances). The data update of all 9 instances was performed one by one (PositionJoint1, PositionJoint2, ... ).
2nd screenshot shows the update timestamp in Azure digital twin data explorer of the problematic instance updatetime.
3rd Screenshot shows the delay between both and the row 2, 11, 20... always have negative delays which does not appear in other instances.
Anyone has an idea of the possible reasons? Thanks a lot!
