Description Sigmund 2023-10-03 04:46:12 UTC 
SUMMARY

For example, I'm at 12AM and normally night color is not active. If I use the current location setting, night color is activated and my screen is in night mode. When I use the location data given by current location and switch to manual mode,  my screen is in day mode.

 I also check the ~/.config/kwinrc, if I use manual mode, the data is shown as below.
[NightColor]
Active=true
LatitudeFixed=39.91
LongitudeFixed=116.4
Mode=Location

if I use current location mode, the data is shown as below.
[NightColor]
Active=true
LatitudeFixed=39.91
LongitudeFixed=116.4

EXPECTED RESULT
Night color can set correct screen mode in current location mode.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Archlinux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8

Interestingly it's the exact opposite for me.
Current location, which worked previously (before Frameworks 5.100), now keeps my screen in day mode.
Manual location with the same coordinates works just fine.

Made a small mistake, it should have been 12:00, not 12AM.

Experiencing the same as Firlaev-Hans: 
current location, keeps my screen in day mode.
manual location with the same coordinates works.
