Hi,
It is rather unclear if you have tried this but have you tried going to settings from the Sharepoint admin center, going to Sharepoint site creation, and changing the default time zone there? If you have older classic sites, you might have change that manually.

- Jul 06, 2022As I said quite clearly in my question, I have set the default time zone for new sites to New Zealand. But that only applies to new sites, not to the Admin Centre. It's the Admin Centre time zone display that I want to adjust, not the SharePoint sites.

I'm just taking an educated guess here, and as I'm not on my tenancy I can't check for certain, so forgive me if you've already tried. I'd think two things: -
- Can you access site settings on the SharePoint product homepage? I recall some site settings being hidden in there some time ago
- For option two, are you able to see what date format Forms has? This may seem a tad odd, but it pointed to a higher setting in the tenancy for a similar issue, which for me was the billing information and information provided when the tenancy was created? I think (can't be sure though) that changing the tenancy locale percolates down to the other 365 products including SharePoint Online.
When I'm back in the office, I'll have a more rigorous look for you if the issue isn't resolved by then.
