getUTCTime

Converts local time to UTC time.

Local times such as YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss are interpreted differently by country.

typescript
new Date('2025-01-01 09:30:15').getTime(); // Korea (Seoul): 1735704015000
new Date('2025-01-01 09:30:15').getTime(); // India (New Delhi): 1735691415000

To obtain the same timestamp regardless of country, you need to normalize to UTC time.
