Tweets are timestamped based on time of data being fetched and posted, in the format 'MM/DD XXH', in UTC. Timestamp is also reflected in the account bio. Timestamp does NOT refer to when the information was last updated. For that, see the JHU tracker, linked above.
This bot will, if functioning normally, check the tracker once every two hours, and tweet only if the information has changed. If any problems arise, please report them to Math#7777 on Discord.
