It seems like there may be some bad/broken NTP server in the pool.ntp.org revolver.

When using that address we have seen numerous time sync failures over the last 24 hours.

Changing to 0.north-America.pool.ntp.org the issue goes away.

Has anyone else observed this in the last day?

I have not been able to identify the failing IP in the resolver pool.

We are in Pennsylvania USA.

That is expected for free NTP servers that anyone can host, and is not
an outage.

Read up on how to configure NTP, you should be using a large number of
servers and a few bad ones are expected and should not be a problem.

Seriously ? Not an outage or disruption considered the density that time permits?

The fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
