Pacific rules belong to a specific zone
America/Los_Angeles gives the rules for this Los Angeles comparison. The sampled offset changes between UTC−08:00 and UTC−07:00 during 2026. Do not replace the identifier with “Pacific” or a nearby city: Vancouver’s November 2026 behavior differs in this database.

Resolve the wall time before exporting
On 1 November 2026, 01:30 in this zone occurs at 08:30 UTC and again at 09:30 UTC. The first uses UTC−07:00; the second uses UTC−08:00. An export must record the chosen instant, not an unresolved clock reading.
Use this identifier in a plan
Find America/Los_Angeles in the zone directory or choose Los Angeles from the city directory. Add the other meeting locations, enter their availability, and check the complete duration. The supported planning years are 2026–2035; future political rule changes may require a new data version.
A calendar export uses the resolved UTC start and end times. The zone remains part of the planning context, while the exported instant stays unambiguous when another calendar displays it in its own time zone.
