This function returns the current time at the time the function is evaluated during the workflow run.

now() = 44408.0534446065 //July 31st, 2021 at 1:16:57 AM

Time is a decimal fraction of a 24-hour period, so ".00" would be midnight, and ".50" would be noon.

now() = 44408.00 // July 31st, 2021 at 12 midnight.

now() = 44408.50 // July 31st, 2021 at 12 noon.
