I don't understand - you'd have to explain what you mean.

The setting doesn't change any data, it changes how a timestamp with time zone
is displayed.

It also sets the default time zone to use when a timestamp without timezone
is to be converted to a timestamp with time zone, so maybe that's what you
are observing.

My bad. It was my mis-understanding, the data did not change as it was supposed to be. We had some bad data pushed from the application which led to mis-understanding. All good now.
