Did Instagram change something in the date it serves posts?

[Fukitsu]

I was updating several Instagram profiles when I noticed gallery-dl started re-downloading many of the pictures I already had but with a different filename, it being one second different. The filename settings I have in my config file are ` `` "filename": {

                "tagged_users and count > 1 and extension in ('mp4')": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}_{num}.{extension}",
                "tagged_users and count > 1": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}_{num} - {width}x{height}.{extension}",

                "tagged_users and extension in ('mp4')": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}.{extension}",
                "tagged_users": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode} - {width}x{height}.{extension}",

                "count > 1 and extension in ('mp4')": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}_{num}.{extension}",
                "count > 1": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}_{num} - {width}x{height}.{extension}",

                "extension in ('mp4')": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode}.{extension}",
                "": "{date:%Y-%m-%d - %H_%M_%S} {post_shortcode} - {width}x{height}.{extension}"
            }

` For example this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxmcEtmMrTR/ I already had it downloaded with as2023-09-25 - 04_00_13 CxmcEtmMrTR_1 - 1440x1440.jpgand it redownloaded it as2023-09-25 - 04_00_14 CxmcEtmMrTR_1 - 1440x1440.jpg. The hash is the same. gallery-dl showed in the console the same filename:.\2023-09-25 - 04_00_13 CxmcEtmMrTR_1 - 1440x1440.jpg`

My gallery-dl version is: [gallery-dl][debug] Version 1.25.8 - Executable [gallery-dl][debug] Python 3.8.10 - Windows-10-10.0.19044 [gallery-dl][debug] requests 2.31.0 - urllib3 1.26.16 [gallery-dl][debug] Configuration Files ['%USERPROFILE%\\gallery-dl.conf'] usage: gallery-dl.exe [OPTION]...

I have that same problem, one second difference. Hope there is a way to fix that because it will bloat folders.

Same issue here.. that one second time difference made a mess for half of my gallery.. i dont know what changed that added one second to the time.. hoping for a fix soon.

Is this +1 second offset present for all posts or only some? If it's for all, I could add an option to apply an offset to all IG timetamps or you could use a post processor (*) to adjust them, but I don't think there's much that can be done when only some posts are affected.

A --download-archive would have helped, since that doesn't record dates in its keys.

(*)

    "postprocessors": [
        {
            "name": "metadata",
            "mode": "modify",
            "event": "prepare",
            "fields": {"date": "\fE date - timedelta(0, 1)"}
        }
    ]

I personally still get 04:00:13 as time for https://www.instagram.com/p/CxmcEtmMrTR/, by the way.

Not all are affected, videos didnt seem to be affected when i tried, but most images were.
