Out of sync time ds3231

Hello everyone..I am having this concern that this ds3231 RTC when not in use the time gets out of sync and becomes late. what could be the problem? the battery has a correct voltage.

Is it normal?

Thank you for your help.

Here is an old similar case that you may wanna see: DS3231 slow down

I think when i use this code rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(DATE),F(TIME))); the time showing is not the same as the time in my clock or computer. Why is it like that?

Because there is a delay between when the sketch is compiled (thus with the current PC time), and when it is uploaded.

the difference is great, like for example pc time 23:30 and ds3231 time 22:15? they aren't the same.

  1. What specific RTC module are you using?
  2. Is the initial time wrong, is it only wrong after (some time)?
  3. If so what length is that (some time)?
  4. How is the RTC connected/ powered
  5. Please post your sketch in code tags.
