I've created a flow that generates a series of tasks daily at 7am with a due date set as that same day.

Here is what I am using to grab the current date in my Timezone (PST)

In Outlook tasks it shows the correct due date as today

In the Planner app in teams the due date shows as the day before today.

Here is the flow I'm using to generate the task:

Any idea why I'm getting two different dates for the same task? Outlook Tasks shows it correctly but tasks in Teams Planner shows it a day before today?

Building flows

The discrepancy in the due date display between Outlook tasks and the Planner app is likely due to timezone differences or how the systems handle date and time values. Ensure that your flow explicitly sets the timezone to PST when calculating the due date. This can be done by using the convertTimeZone function in your flow. When setting the due date, add the necessary time offset to ensure it aligns with your intended timezone. For example, if the due date is intended to be the same day at 11:59 PM PST, calculate this time in UTC and set it accordingly.

Here's an example of how you can set the due date using the convertTimeZone function in Power Automate:

convertTimeZone(utcNow(), 'UTC', 'Pacific Standard Time')
