 ### Bug Fix
 
+-   `DateTime`: Make the Timezone indication render a tooltip only when necessary. ([#56214](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56214)).
 -   `ToolsPanelItem`: Use useLayoutEffect to prevent rendering glitch for last panel item styling. ([#56536](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56536)).
 -   `FormTokenField`: Fix broken suggestions scrollbar when the `__experimentalExpandOnFocus` prop is defined ([#56426](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56426)).
 -   `FormTokenField`: `onFocus` prop is now typed as a React `FocusEvent` ([#56426](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/56426)).
