is normal and expected. This is called _clock skew_.

Large clock skews, in the order of 1% or more, are more concerning and may be
indicative of a potential problem. For example, some video playback setups
indicative of a potential problem. A very slow video clock (e.g. <0.9x) may
indicate the video player is unable to keep up with the bitrate of the video (in
this case, audio dropouts would be expected as well). Some video playback setups
(hopefully rare nowadays) may speed up 24 FPS content to 25 FPS, resulting in
the video playing ~1.04x faster than normal.
