DateTimeOffset -> conversion from UTC to local machine time zone

[KlausEnevoldsen-Abtion]

What are you generating using Kiota, clients or plugins?

API Client/SDK

In what context or format are you using Kiota?

Nuget tool

Client library/SDK language

C#/.NET

Describe the bug

Latest version of Kiota. I am trying to use an Kiota client for an API endpoint that returns MinValue of DateTimeOffset and because my timezone is UTC+1 the deserialization fails because MinValue - 1 hour is not a valid value.

The API endpoint actually has an option of returning null, but it insists on returning MinValue. I have reached out to the API author in hopes of changing their implementation of this edge case.

My workaround for now is to change the property from DateTimeOffset? to string.

Is there another way to fix this situation without changing the API or the generated code?

Expected behavior

The code does not break

How to reproduce

1. Create an endpoint that returns a DateTimeOffset.MinValue
2. Generate a Kiota client
3. Make sure your machine is UTC+ timezone

Hi @KlausEnevoldsen-Abtion
Thanks for using kiota and for reaching out.
This sounds like another bug that was reported by a community member not long ago
Can you have a look and let us know if your problem is indeed the same please?
