What's Wrong?

Description:
The Usage panel in Claude Code displays the timezone as Europe/Kiev, which is the deprecated IANA timezone identifier. Since tzdata 2022b, the correct identifier is Europe/Kyiv, reflecting Ukraine's official romanization adopted internationally.

Root cause (likely):
The application is either using an outdated tzdata version predating 2022b, or the legacy identifier Europe/Kiev is hardcoded somewhere in the display logic.
