Date Value Inconsistent

Why is Appian not recognizing the timezone as being 'CDT' when evaluating the today() function. We have a process that runs at 11:00 pm each Thursday. It starts on time but the first test is to evaluate 'today()' and when it does, the today() value is the next day so the process ends. If it evaluated today() in the CDT timezone - it would continue. I ran several tests to figure this out. I have a workaround for this - I will use 'todate(now())' which I believe will evaluate the date correctly at 11:00 PM CDT because now() recognizes the timezone. Is this a bug? I tested this in both our DEV environment (which is 17.1 and in PROD which is 16.3).

have you tried calling an external service in order to get the dateTime and timezone you need?
