Common questions about /time

›How many ticks are in a Minecraft day?

24,000 ticks, which is 20 real-world minutes. Day begins at 1000 and night at 13000.

›Why does the time keep moving after I set it?

The cycle carries on. To freeze it, turn off the daylight cycle game rule first — advance_time on 1.21.9 and later, doDaylightCycle before that.
