This is a rule-derived milestone; it rolls to the next Gregorian leap year. Refresh after January 1 at 00:00 local time of the next leap year if you need the next occurrence rather than the already-resolved snapshot.
Local-time boundary
The resolver uses JavaScript Date local calendar rules for the runtime and then displays the resolved instant to the visitor. For travel, legal, payroll, or cross-city planning, confirm the intended city and authority before treating the timer as official.
