Problems with status bar time

[mlcampbe]

Over the past week to 10 days I have noticed that the time is incorrect in the status bar of the phone. Searching around I see that this could be related to having the option to automatically set the time enabled. I disabled the automatic time and that does fix the problem. However, this seems odd as it was working previously. Also it seems that the problem is only in the statusbar. When I access the lockscreen or the ambient display the time there always seems to be correct even with automatic time setting enabled.

I've also noticed that my imap-based email does not seem to be updating as quickly as it should. When accessing aquamail the message list is stale until I refresh. It is almost like battery optimization has been enabled for everything.

I will note that my phone is running on Verizon, does not have greenify or any other doze helper apps installed. However, I am using nova launcher instead of the pixel launcher.

Is anyone else having this problem or have a fix other than turning off the automatically set the time? I was thinking about a factory reset but think I will wait on the Feb security fix release first to see if that makes any difference.

Any ideas?

FYI that I have factory reset the phone and that seems to resolved all of my problems. I had installed greenify at one time and run the adb commands to get it working since the phone is not rooted. I had deinstalled greenify but did not "undo" the adb commands. Perhaps they were still in place causing problems, I don't really know. But a factory reset has fixed all issues.
