suspiciousof that but a plain view, surely not. I hope.
now() returns the time at the beginning of the transaction:
see: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-datetime.html
If you want the time whenever you call the function, use clock_timestamp() instead. There's also a good article at:

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
