 If both chrony and TimeSync sources are enabled simultaneously, you can mark one as **prefer** which sets the other source as a backup. Because NTP services do not update the clock for large skews except after a long period, the VMICTimeSync will recover the clock from paused VM events far more quickly than NTP-based tools alone.
 
+By default chronyd accelerates or slows the system clock to fix any time drift. If the drift becomes too big, chrony will fail to fix the drift. To overcome this the `makestep` parameter in **/etc/chrony.conf** can be changed to force a timesync if the drift exceeds the threshold specified.
+ ```bash
+makestep 1.0 -1
+```
+Here, chrony will force a time update if the drift is greater than 1 second. To apply the changes restart the chronyd service.
+
+```bash
+systemctl restart chronyd
+```
