## What does nylas timezone info do?

The nylas timezone info command displays the current UTC offset, timezone abbreviation, DST status, and standard/daylight names for any IANA timezone. Pass the zone as a positional argument. Use it to quickly check what time it is somewhere before scheduling an email or calendar event.

## Usage

```bash
nylas timezone info <ZONE>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| --json | Output as JSON |
| --no-color | Disable color output |
| --verbose(-v) | Enable verbose output |
| --config | Custom config file path |
| --help(-h) | Show help for the command |
| --limit | Limit results (most list commands) |
| --yes(-y) | Skip confirmations |
| --time | Time to check (RFC3339 format, defaults to now) |
| --zone | Time zone (IANA name or abbreviation) |

## Examples

The nylas timezone info command displays the current UTC offset, timezone abbreviation, DST status, and standard/daylight names for any IANA timezone.

### Show Pacific Time details

```bash
nylas timezone info America/Los_Angeles
```

### Check UTC offset for a zone

```bash
nylas timezone info Europe/Berlin
```

## Example output

```text
Time Zone Information

Zone: America/New_York
Abbreviation: EDT
Current Time: 2026-06-21 18:38:35 (EDT)
UTC Offset: UTC-4 (-14400 seconds)
DST Status: Currently observing Daylight Saving Time

Next DST Transition:
  Date: 2026-11-01 EST
  Days Until: 133
  Change: Fall Back (DST ends, gain 1 hour)
```

## Troubleshooting

### Zone not recognized

Use the full IANA identifier (e.g., America/Chicago, not CST). Run `nylas timezone list` to browse available zones.

### Offset seems wrong

The displayed offset reflects DST if currently in effect. Use `nylas timezone dst --zone <ZONE>` to see when the offset changes.
