I just updated my system to FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC amd64. I
then ran poudriere to update all the ports on my system.

This is the startup message from ntpd:

Aug  5 12:45:50 mystic ntpd[71870]: ntpd 4.2.8p15-a (1): Starting

A short time later, I start to receive these error messages:

Aug  5 12:55:01 mystic ntpd[71871]: frequency error 579 PPM exceeds toleran=
ce 500 PPM

Aug  5 13:09:40 mystic ntpd[71871]: frequency error 624 PPM exceeds toleran=
ce 500 PPM

I have tried shutting down ntpd, resetting the time and restarting
ntpd. After a few minutes, the problem starts again. This was not
happening before the upgrade.
