If you want to have a current date without seconds and/or minutes, use Carbon's methods like setSeconds(0) or setMinutes(0).
// 2020-04-20 08:12:34echo now(); // 2020-04-20 08:12:00echo now()->setSeconds(0); // 2020-04-20 08:00:00echo now()->setSeconds(0)->setMinutes(0); // Another way - even shorterecho now()->startOfHour();
