Current Date problem in Flow

Hi,
I have created a flow and I am using a formula formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd') to get current date.

The problem is my flow is a recurrence and when it runs at the specified time its not calculating the current date but when I am running it manually by clicking the start button its giving me correct and current date.
As you can see in the below images the same flow ran on the same date but different time and its giving different date using the formula i mentioned above.

Hello @Ramiz

Try this expression:

convertFromUtc(utcNow(), 'Arab Standard Time', 'yyyy-MM-dd')
