**Time zone (`TZ`)**<br/>

Directus's internal scheduler (used for telemetry, TUS cleanup, and other cron-driven jobs) reads the process's `TZ` environment variable. Leaving `TZ` set to an _empty_ string causes startup to fail with `CronError: ERROR: You specified an invalid date`. Either leave `TZ` unset or set it to a valid IANA time zone such as `UTC` or `Europe/Berlin`.
