Okay, so I needed to figure out the update time for Honkai Star Rail in PST. You know how it is, gotta plan ahead to maximize my playtime!

My Little Research Journey
First, I jumped straight into the game itself, hoping for an in-game announcement. I poked around in the notices section, but no dice. Sometimes they’re good about that, sometimes not so much.
Next up, I launched my browser. Usually I will find the latest news from some offical website.
I found some info! It said the update starts at 2024/02/06 06:00:00 (UTC+8) and lasts for about 5 hours. And it’s a big one, so better use Wi-Fi.
Then it was simple math. I found UTC+8 is 16 hours ahead of PST. So, I just subtracted 16 hours from the given time.
- Update start time: 2024/02/06 06:00:00 (UTC+8)
- Subtract 16 hours to convert to PST: 2024/02/05 14:00:00 (PST)
So, the update should start around 2:00 PM PST on February 5th. And with the 5-hour downtime, I figured I can play the game on Feb 5th 7:00 PM PST, Hope I got that right!
