RunService.Stepped giving incorrect deltaTime

[ThatBushyZaza (NotARobloxFed)]

Recently I noticed some issues with some code and after some testing I found out something weird. For some reason when i print out RunService.Stepped’s deltaTime it shows me the time in seconds since the function was initially connected, instead of the time between frames

Code:

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function(dt)
	print(dt)
end)

Output after one minute:

If you try to do the same with Heartbeat and RenderStepped, the values do correctly show the deltaTime. weirder yet, if you try getting the deltaTime using the tick() method in a Stepped function you also get correct values.

code:

deltaTime = 0
lastTick = 0

game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
	deltaTime = tick() - lastTick
	print(deltaTime)
	lastTick = tick()
end)

Output after one minute (stayed the same since the start):

Is this intentional behavior? Am i overlooking something or is this not supposed to happen?

This is indeed intentional, as the first parameter is time, the second is delta.

oh thats makes sense now, damn i feel stupid. This caused me a lot of trouble for a couple of days now.
