Did you check if clocksync is enabled?
Two ways to check:

sys-net settings → Services tap → clocksync checked
In dom0, type in “qvm-features sys-net” and the result should be “service.clocksync 1”

Internet should be connected to sys-net for service.clocksync to receive time data at regular intervals.

If you need to change timezone, more info can be found from the link below.

# Changing your Time Zone #

## Qubes 4.0 ##

### Command line ###

If you use the i3 window manager or would prefer to change the system's time
zone in terminal you can issue the `timedatectl` command with the option
`set-timezone`.

For example, to set the system's time zone to Berlin, Germany type in a dom0
terminal:

    $ sudo timedatectl set-timezone 'Europe/Berlin'

You can list the available time zones with the option `list-timezones` and show
the current settings of the system clock and time zone with option `status`.

Example output status of `timedatectl` on a system with time zone set to

After you reboot, is your BIOS holding the correct date/time or is that resetting as well? This will narrow down if it’s your hardware or the Qubes software.

Clocksync is checked and still its happening.

When I set the correct time in Bios then for a few mins it stays right in Qubes but after some time it changes automatically. This happens in the same session, without rebooting. Thanks.

Did you check you are in the right time zone?
In dom0, timedatectl status.
