>Unfortunately, the timestamp embedded in a UUIDv7 ID may not relate to the object creation time. The Postgres docs for uuid_extract_timestamp helpfully warn that “the extracted timestamp is not necessarily exactly equal to the time the UUID was generated”.

Just like NOW() won't have the current time.
