Caution
For testing only. Use TimeProvider instead.
Abstraction over monotonic time providers (Environment.TickCount64, Stopwatch.GetTimestamp, as opposed to DateTime).

Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| TickCount |
Gets a value that indicates the current tick count measured as milliseconds from an arbitrary reference time. The default implementation leverages TickCount64. This is generally more efficient than GetStopwatchTime(), but provides less precision. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Delay(Int32, CancellationToken) |
Creates a cancellable task that completes after a specified time interval. This is equivalent to Delay(Int32, CancellationToken), and facilitates unit tests that use virtual time. |
| Delay(TimeSpan, CancellationToken) |
Creates a cancellable task that completes after a specified time interval. This is equivalent to Delay(TimeSpan, CancellationToken), and facilitates unit tests that use virtual time. |
| GetStopwatchTime() |
Gets a precise time measurement using Stopwatch as the time source. |
| GetUtcNow() |
Gets the current time in UTC as a DateTimeOffset. |
