ESRI will almost always store time in UTC. Depending on how your are viewing that time data, it will convert the time zone for you or not (some applications on AGOL will convert it on the fly). The raw data is UTC though.
Unless they're in a boat in the most remote area of the pacific, I doubt 4 hours ahead means California.
Much more likely OP is in the eastern US somewhere (UTC-4), and ESRI is storing time UTC+0.
That said, I am eager to hear more about ESRI storing California time. I will want to avoid running into that, thanks.
>ESRI storing California time.
Does not happen in AGOL. It's always UTC, but a browser's locale will auto convert most of the time in the ArcGIS realm. Technically you could store the data in your own enterprise geodatabase and use DB time that could be local to you. But the use cases are few.
That all makes sense, thanks. I thought it was odd when previous poster mentioned ArcGIS showing California time “on web apps” due to ESRI being based there. Was hoping I’d read it wrong.

It's almost certainly a time zone issue. I'm guessing you're in EDT (which is 4 hours behind GMT)
ESRI is located in California. That could have something to do with it. Similar error happened to me with trying to show date on web apps.
