v5: character.houses[].paid is one day earlier than v4 (timezone?) #793
Description
Endpoint: /v5/character/{name}
What happens: character.houses[].paid in v5 is one day earlier than the same field in v4 for the same character, fetched at the same moment.
Example: character Zojbek, fetched 2026-10-20 01:40:18 UTC (same timestamp for both), same result in 5 runs:
- v4
https://api.tibiadata.com/v4/character/Zojbek→"paid": "2026-10-20" - v5
https://api.tibiadata.com/v5/character/Zojbek→"paid": "2026-10-19"
The character no longer has a house (the rent ran out on Oct 20), so this exact example can't be re-checked now, but any character with a house should show it.
Expected: the same date as tibia.com shows ("is paid until …"), like v4.
Guess: the date from tibia.com (CET/CEST, no time) is parsed as local midnight and then converted to UTC, which moves it to the previous day. Keeping it as a plain date without timezone conversion would fix it.
Found in Exiva's side-by-side v4/v5 comparison (Oct 16–21); reported after a chat with @tobiasehlert on Discord.

Created #795 which should address this, but not merging yet.
Can you provide a new character so I can verify the fix before merge?
