It changed to 0-XXX at nidnight (Japan time)!It shows 0-322 (12:15 in Japan local time). It will recover to XXX (normal) at 1000 beats (may be). It may be some error in the processing of local time and Internet time, but Internet is unique, not related to any local time!

Yes. It shows as "@0-172". At present, it shows "@106" (actual local time is about 10:30 AM) and this is normal.
It seems that it changes to "@-xxx" in the evening and night (Japan time).

All locations should show the same beat as long as the system clock is set correctly. A beat is 1/1000 of a day. Zero is at Midnight UTC+1

Am I to understand that the time is displaying as '@0-172'?

I am Japanese user. This widget shows internet time as 0-172 (829 is correct!). Is it the spec of this widget or does it depend the location ?

A UNIX time widget already exists in the gallery. It would be nice if it had custom fonts and color capabilities. If the existing UNIX time widget does not meet your needs or is not implemented correctly let me know and I can add more modes. After all Internet Time only requires a single Prime Meridian, the rest is increments and formating.
