Common mistakes
A milliseconds timestamp is pasted into a seconds-based converter.
Fix: Check whether your input has extra digits and convert the correct unit.
The user expects local time but reads UTC output.
Fix: Confirm which timezone the tool uses for the displayed result.
Non-numeric text is pasted instead of a raw timestamp.
