    Description

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      I am using Intellij IDEA 2020.1 and installed openjdk-15 via the Project Structure dialogue. The same error happens with a manually installed version (11.05) as well.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      If I use Instant.now() repeatedly, later calls return the same value even if time should have passed already.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Initialize two variables with Instant.now() and print one after each other.

      Instant now1 = Instant.now();
      System.out.println(now1);
      Instant now2 = Instant.now();
      System.out.println(now2);


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The variables should be different.
      ACTUAL -
      The variables are the same:
