Every time I set my time on my Mac, it resets automatically to 1/1/2024 00:00

every time I set my time on my Mac automatically, it goes back to 1/1/2024 00:00

and when I close my Mac, the clock stops at the time I closed the Mac on

and the websites won't work with an incorrect timeline, so I have to set my clock manually every time I want to use my Mac. I already have my location services on my Mac and my phone.

Try and boot the Mac in the safe mode and to re set the time in the safe mode, to see if the issues persist

Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
Select a volume.
Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode

Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
Log in to your Mac.
You might be asked to log in again.
On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

If the time cannot be set please see if there is an y battery issues

I just tried it

it didn’t work, and once I activated "set my time to my location" it gave me 4/08/2024 04:04 am

and my battery’s condition is "normal"
