IMPORTANT

Some Motive Public API endpoints return pre-aggregated rollup data instead of raw events. For these rollup endpoints, timestamps are computed and returned in the company's configured rollup timezone (for example in PT, MT, ET, and CT), and not in UTC and are not controlled by the X-Time-Zone header. Examples include endpoints such as driver_utilization and vehicle_utilization.
