Adding {{now}} doesn't give the assistant the assistant current UTC Time

I see in https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/dynamic-variables there are defaulted variables like {{now}} to capture current UTC time. I can add the UTC time myself for outbound calls but this would be super helpful for inbound as if someone says "Can I book a call next Monday" it doesnt know when that is.

I've added "The current UTC time is {{now}}" to my prompt but when i call and ask my assistant what the current time is it says "{{now}}"

Not sure if this is because of my setup or if this is something others have been running into as well

Call log: 0a24d6ca-adc6-4897-b711-93ad3bc5f980

Thanks!
