Sample screenshot of Admin's timezone preference after timezone is changed:

The timezone indicated in the email corresponds to the admin's timezone setting at the moment the report was scheduled. This timezone becomes fixed for each scheduled report. Therefore, any subsequent changes to the admin's timezone settings will not affect the timezone of reports that have already been scheduled. 

1. Identify that the timezone in the email notification is the admins' timezone at the time of scheduling the report.
2. If a change in timezone is desired, schedule a new report after changing the admin's timezone preference.
