Hi everyone,
I've recently found out that composites that utilize "night_ir_with_background" produces images with wrong timestamp in the filename, It's unfortunate as I also use this information for further processing.
Below is an example with ABI, running script, images and debug log. I created an additional composite that takes C02 instead of true color for faster testing but it should also happen with the default "true_color_with_night_ir" as well.

Hi Isaac,
Thanks for bringing this up. I'm surprised this isn't complained about
more as I'm sure if it is affecting you it is affecting everyone.
Some questions for you:
1. What version of satpy are you using?
2. What time does your ABI data have? I'm guessing the time produced is
the current date/time?
The main issue is that we don't typically get a time from the background
black marble image, but Satpy typically requires one so during the
reading of the black marble image we assign a time to it (the current
time). It appears that one or more composites is not ignoring this
"fake" time properly.

Hi Dave,
I'm currently using satpy 0.36.0 installed from pip.
ABI data time should be 20221670000208 or ~2022-06-16 00:00:20 as indicated by nc dataset name.
As for the time produced it doesn't seem to match current datetime but I've noticed subsequent runs with the same conditions produce images with incrementing wrong timestamps.
