<p>Bitcoind daemon return "timeoffset" : -10,-15,-50,-60 and more.. 
<p>
Timeoffset value is constantly increasing(decreases*) (~ "-1" per day), i dont can restart daemon with command -reindex / -rescan (daemon restart with reindex/rescan is very long). <p>
<strong>How i can fix it ?</strong>

The timeoffset simply shows the relative time with respect to the peers you are connected to (actually the median of your peers). A consistent increase in the count would indicate that your server's clock is [drifting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_drift), hence your server is counting time a bit faster than it's peers. This is normal (although 1 second/day drift is already quite a lot) and is not a cause for concern. If you'd like to fix it I suggest to synchronize with some timeserver over [NTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol).
