Package: systemd-timesyncd Version: 245.6-1 Severity: important systemd-timesyncd no longer seems to work. I couldn't find any reason in the logs. Now there's a 5-second delta!

If I understand the "timedatectl show-timesync" output, it stopped working on 2020-07-06 20:06:16 CEST. I suspended my laptop shortly after this time. But I do that several times a day.
