Thanks Scott.

I'm also not rushing to delete based on counts, but it's still interesting to review.

I ran the "Complete Ensemble Message Body Report" from Suriya's post's Gist against a namespace and it ran for about 8 hours, which now has me nervous to run the Delete option. Although, to be fair, this is a namespace that has been in operation for about 10 years, so I might start smaller and work my way up.

The key difference between the two scenarios is that you're running the application for the instances where you are getting the correct time.

Have you checked the server timezone settings for the user running Ensemble in your environment?

This feels like a timezone/locale issue - is the difference between your time zone and UTC also 5 hours apart?
