RTC time greater than 24 hours

Hello everyone, I am using an internal RTC on STM32L431. After running for 23:59:59 seconds, the time changes to 24:00:00 instead of 00:00:00, and the week day has not been incremented. Why is this?

Hello @AlfRomeo

Is the RTC correctly configured to use the 24-hour format?

As @Sarra.S said above, you probably have set the RTC inadvertently to 12 hour format, probably because of uninitialized struct when calling Cube/HAL functions setting time.

The format of the hour is still 24 hours, and I haven't changed it

Does the RTC continue with 24:01 ? Otherwise, where is the problem?

24:00 is never a valid time - it should go from 23:59:59.999 to 00:00

Did you follow @waclawek.jan's link - to details about the issues with uninitialised or incompletely-initialised config structures?

Read out and check/post the RTC registers content.
