What does
sysctl kern.timecounter
return? Does the problem continue if you switch kern.timecounter.hardware to
something else?
In https://postgr.es/m/32aaeb66-71b2-4af0-91ef-1a992ac4d58b%40mksoft.nu you
said it was using acpitimer0 and that it's a vmware VM. It might also be a
vmware bug, not an openbsd one...
Greetings,
