If you create a VM using a Fedora installer you probably got chronyd so
need:

% systemctl status chronyd
% sudo systemctl stop chronyd
% sudo systemctl disable chronyd

My experience (a decade ago) was that VM's should be configured to use the
system clock, not
NTP.  This was a use-case where the VM was used to process files and moving
data back and
forth between host and VM, so we didn't want files with times in the future.

There are use-cases that require special timing -- see <
