Binance order: Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server's time

I am writing some Python code to create an order with the Binance API:

from binance.client import Client

client = Client(API_KEY, SECRET_KEY)

client.create_order(symbol='BTCUSDT',
                    recvWindow=59999, #The value can't be greater than 60K
                    side='BUY',
                    type='MARKET',
                    quantity = 0.004)

Unfortunately I get the following error message:

"BinanceAPIException: APIError(code=-1021): Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server's time."

I already checked the difference (in miliseconds) between the Binance server time and my local time:

import time
import requests
import json
url = "https://api.binance.com/api/v1/time"
t = time.time()*1000
r = requests.get(url)

result = json.loads(r.content)

print(int(t)-result["serverTime"]) 

OUTPUT: 6997

It seems that the recvWindow of 60000 is still not sufficient (but it may not exceed 60K). I still get the same error. Does anybody know how I can solve this issue?

Many thanks in advance!

Be sure there's not a service blocking somehow the synchronization.

In my specific clase, the automatic start up of FortiClient VPN was in the way.

  • FortiClient 7 on Windows 10 x64bi

I add to follow the specific steps for disabling it:

  1. Right-click on the FortiClient icon on the taskbar and select "Shutdown FortiClient".

  2. Go to command prompt and enter: net stop fortishield [ENTER]

  3. RUN -> msconfig and go to services tab. Uncheck the service FortiClient Service Scheduler and [APPLY] - Do not restart the PC now.

  4. RUN -> services and search for FortiClient Service Scheduler. Right-click -> Properties and change the startup type to: Manual

    enter image description here

  5. Reboot. It also worked on Win 7 32bit. Regards

  6. Then follow the instructions from the selected answer for this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72763542/7389293

  7. It should work now:

Save the following script as SyncWindowsTimeWithBinance.ps1 and run it as administrator. It gets the current datetime from Binance, adds the timezone difference (+4 here), and adjusts (synchronizes) the Windows time accordingly.

# Fetch server time from Binance API
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/time"
$serverTime = $response.serverTime

# Convert server time (milliseconds since Unix epoch) to DateTime
$epoch = Get-Date -Date "01/01/1970" -Hour 0 -Minute 0 -Second 0
$serverDateTime = $epoch.AddMilliseconds($serverTime)

# Adjust to timezone +4
$desiredDateTime = $serverDateTime.AddHours(4)

# Format the date and time
$formattedDateTime = Get-Date -Date $desiredDateTime -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

# Set the system's date and time (requires administrative privileges)
Set-Date -Date $formattedDateTime

It is useful when Windows time synchronization is not working or you want to synchronize data with the help of code.

I found the answer on linux!

I had the same problem in kali linux on a python trading application i am learning to develop!

When logging the error info warnings and debug logs running the main.py file I get this response intially!

***

2023-04-10 02:53:10,945 ERROR :: Error while making GET request to /fapi/v1/account/: {'code': -1021, 'msg': "Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server's time."} (error code 400)
2023-04-10 02:53:10,949 INFO :: Binance Futures Client successfully initialized

***

Setting the time on Linux is not the procedure for windows and I am still exploring that option!

This worked for me by following this in the command prompt!

Enter timedatectl:

┌──(a37trillion㉿localhost)-[~]
└─$ timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:07:50 UTC
           Universal time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:07:50 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:07:48
                Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: no
              NTP service: inactive
          RTC in local TZ: no

The NTP service was inactive, so setting the value to true will correct the time:

┌──(a37trillion㉿localhost)-[~]
└─$ sudo timedatectl set-ntp true                 
[sudo] password for a37trillion:

Double-check to make sure it's active:

┌──(a37trillion㉿localhost)-[~]
└─$ timedatectl
               Local time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:09:19 UTC
           Universal time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:09:19 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2023-04-10 04:09:19
                Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

For C#, I created this method to run command line to resync time on windows before running an API on Binance:

public static void ResyncWindowsTime()
{
    var commands = new List<string>() 
    { 
        "net stop w32time",
        "w32tm /unregister",
        "w32tm /register",
        "net start w32time",
        "w32tm /resync"
    };

    var process = new Process();
    var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
    startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
    process.StartInfo = startInfo;

    foreach (var command in commands)
    {
        startInfo.Arguments = "/C " + command;
        process.Start();
        process.WaitForExit();
    }
}

I actually used the accepted solution as it is desirable to have the correct windows time in any event.

Nevertheless, here is an alternative code solution (which makes a Binance class and computes the time offset) for the same:

import time
from binance.client import Client

class Binance:
    def __init__(self, public_key = '', secret_key = '', sync = False):
        self.time_offset = 0
        self.b = Client(public_key, secret_key)

        if sync:
            self.time_offset = self._get_time_offset()

    def _get_time_offset(self):
        res = self.b.get_server_time()
        return res['serverTime'] - int(time.time() * 1000)

    def synced(self, fn_name, **args):
        args['timestamp'] = int(time.time() - self.time_offset)
        return getattr(self.b, fn_name)(**args)

and then call function like this:

binance = Binance(public_key = 'my_pub_key', secret_key = 'my_secret_key', sync=True)
binance.synced('order_market_buy',  symbol='BNBBTC', quantity=10)

Binance server time is behind your server time, because Binance servers do not sync often with ntp servers.

Workaround:

binance.setTimeOffset(-1000); // -1 sec

its if you use: npm binance

Probably the PC's time is out of sync.

You can do it using Windows -> Setting-> Time & Language -> Date & Time -> 'Sync Now'.

Manually set your clock back 1 second, ensure that ALL time updates are off. Daylights savings, autosync etc.
