Total queries dashboard not populating after a cold boot

Expected Behaviour:

Raspberry Pi 4, running the latest software, after a cold boot everything should populate normally.

Actual Behaviour:

After a cold boot the Total queries and Client activity dashboards do not populate at all not even 5 days later. sometimes another boot helps, but it comes back.

Debug Token:

Please post the output of the following from the Pi terminal - checking your local configuration settings not shown in the debug log:

cat /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf

DEBUG_QUERIES=true
PRIVACYLEVEL=0

that's the output of that line.

just found out something, websites stopped working so I restarted the dns resolver and the dashboards now work.

that's not a solution, I want to find out why this keeps happening. it might be a simple race condition on boot.

Did you check your RPi's timezone settings as well as its time?

To adjust your timezone as required, run sudo raspi-config and choose Localisation Options | Change Time Zone.
You can also set your timezone manually via CLI, e.g.:

sudo timedatectl set-timezone Australia/Sydney

You may find your timezone with a command like timedatectl list-timezones | grep Australia.

If time is still off by too much then, you may set your time manually, e.g. by

timedatectl set-time '2020-11-05 19:00:00'

yeah, the first check I did was the time, it's correct.
