Date.now() and other plain Unix timestamp values like 1534360109480 into SQL and ran them through this:"@converted_date" = to_timestamp("@date") AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';And it consistently returns

Solution
to_timestamp accepts the epoch value ("Unix time") with second precision, while your value seems to have millisecond precision. You need to do something liketo_timestamp(@date/1000) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';Code Snippets
to_timestamp(@date/1000) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';Context
