Healthchecks does not use the timezone of the container about healthchecks HOT 2 OPEN

Healthchecks is designed as a multi-user system, the different users can of course be in different timezones. Using the server's timezone as the default would make one subset of the users happy, and all the rest unhappy.

It seems the issue here is the "Ping Details" modal only shows the time as an ISO8601 timestamp only, and does not show the formatted version in local timezone. Suppose the "Time Received" field had two values – the timestamp, and also a formatted version (formatted using the browser's timezone) – would that work better?

That makes sense but the Ping Details timestamp shows the UTC time that's in neither browser nor server. So UTC is chosen to be the static default for all cases but instead of timestamp with the server timezone.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure how'd you like to call those fields. Maybe make the current Time Received formatted using the browser's timezone and add a new field called Server Time Received showing the server timestamp.
