Copilot Studio custom copilot has has wrong date

I'm building a simple custom Copilot in Copilot Studio to retrieve weather information from weather.com/weather.gov.  I noticed the answers regarding weather data were not accurate. I finally typed the prompt "What is today's date?" and the Copilot responded with October 10, 2023.  Today is September 24, 2024. I have no idea where this date came from. I created a new blank Copilot and the same thing is happening. Has anyone else experienced this?

    It was trained on data up to October 2023, You can use Today() to get todays date which you can tell Copilot.

    Same Problem here, try to get Current Date per Topic or Agent with utcNow(), but not easy...

    Same problem here. My copilot bot always thinks it is in 2023. It's 2025 now!!

    Also stumbled across this one. The model itself does not seem to be aware of the date. However, you can build a topic and tell copilot the date in the generative answers node prompt by using the Today() function.
