Just for further clarification, the API works like this:

time is the local (client) time (in this case UTC-7)
servertimezone is the time zone where the server is located
timezoneoffset is the offset of the local time relative to the servertimezone (offset from the servers PoV)

To get the UTC date you have to do something like this:

time.minusHours(timezoneoffset).atZone(servertimezone).toUTC()
