Use the IANA name, not the abbreviation

Python
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

# right: an IANA zone carries the full history of rule changes
now = datetime.now(ZoneInfo("Asia/Jakarta"))
print(now.isoformat(), now.tzname())

# wrong: an abbreviation is not resolvable, and a hard-coded offset
# silently rots the next time the rules change
# now = datetime.now(timezone(timedelta(hours=...)))  # don't
