trying to install artix basestrap says error: required key missing from keyring

Hi
I'm trying to install artix linux from 25.07.2021 ISO and when i do basestrap /mnt base It asks me to import pgpg key ... "Artix Build Bot ... "? [Y/n]

if I answer Y it says error: key "..." could not be looked up remotely
error: required key missing from keyring.
Same thing if I answer no

I have tried
pacman -S artix-keyring (I can't install anything to bootable usb because of missing key)
pacman-key --populate artix
pacman-key --lsign-key 95AEC5D0C1E294FC9F82B253573A673A53C01BC2

and
pacman-key --refresh-keys

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: found fix Make sure to correct the system time, for example with ntpd -qg run as root, and run hwclock -w as root before subsequent installations or upgrades.
then pacman-key --refresh-keys

Thank you so much! I was off only 4 seconds. I would have never found that problem. Can't we add this to the wiki please?
