After reading the itunes connect FAQ im still confused on the following scenarios
1)Price changes
If I schedule a price change at 12am on monday, will all countries app stores have to wait till 12am Monday on their local time for the price change? Or will all the countries stores change price at the same instance when the itunes connect site hits 12am Monday?
2) Sales and Trends
Im in Australia and its 7th August here and in Itunes connect its 6th August. Sales and Trends just uploaded a daily report for 5th August. Now will that report show Australia's 5th August Report or will it show Australia's 6th August Report?
Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Turn on Set Automatically1 in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone. If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.
About privacy and Location Services in iOS 8 and later -- Tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services (at the bottom of the list), and make sure that "Setting Time Zone" is turned on. See if you're able to turn "Set Automatically" off under Settings > General > Date & Time now.
Go to Settings/General/Date & Time and make sure you have Set Automatically turned on. Also go to Settings/Privacy/Location Services.

From my observations:
1) I scheduled a price change at 12am monday EST (Australian time, Eastern Standard Time). The price changed at 12am EST on the Australian App Store and changed about 12pm EST on the USA App Store.
So you have to wait until it reaches the same time in all stores timezones, i.e. the App will show the scheduled price change at 12am in each country depending on their timezone.
2) The app was released 5th August iTunesConnect time (6th August EST). My friends and I downloaded it from the Australian App Store when released. I looked at 5th August report and saw no downloads from Australia, only from the USA. So it showed data for 5th August EST which is no downloads because the app was not available in Australia on the 5th but the 6th.
Hope this makes things clearer
