Let me select the timezone on the relative date filter

Hello, 
 
This might sound as a really niche request, and it might be, but let me explain nonetheless. 
I'm based in Barcelona, my customer is in Japan. We use capacities in Japan East regions- 
 
Normally to be able to see consumption in detail I have the filter to show me just the last two days of data. 
 
What I did not realize is that "today" is according to my own timezone, meaning that the consumption that is happening right now is recorded as happening tomorrow for a the last 7h of the day (in this part of the year) 
 
So well, things happen and today we blocked the main capacity by rerunning a big workload
I swapped in the dev capacity we have, which is half the size of the main capacity and after a while I go a message that was blocked 
 
Historically it was ok to run that workload on that capacity, so I was a bit surprised
I checked the metrics app and saw no consumption! Why? Because I was checking today and yesterday but not tomorrow... 
 
So I even open a ticket and everything as I found it outragious that I could not use a capacity that was completely unused.  Or so it looked. 
 
After careful investigation a few hours later I found it very weird that the last data points where from today at 11:59 PM and then is when I realized what was going on. 
 
All this to say that it would be awesome if we could choose the time zone in the relative date filter. 
 
 
Regards!
