Change Members::ActivityService to use user timezone
What does this MR do and why?
This MR changes the Members::ActivityService
to use the user's timezone when creating a lease in Redis.
Previously, we would create a lease until midnight UTC to prevent multiple updates for the same user in a single day.
This had a side effect that meant at midnight UTC, we would see a large increase in the number of activities being recorded again.
This change mitigates that slightly in that it will attempt to use the user's timezone, creating a lease until midnight in their time zone instead.
If a user does not have a timezone set, user.timezone
will be nil
and it will fall back to UTC as it was before.
