Description

FrameworkContext.Current is stored in HttpContext if it presents, or an internal field if it does not. The problem is your scheduled job is most likely run without a HttpContext. Therefore, FrameworkContext.Current is created once and reused. That's why the time is can be so off (minutes, if not even hours)

The entire class is fairly useless so should be obsoleted.
