This object indicates whether the currently-selected T0 clock source is active because an operator explicitly forced a switch to it, overriding the normal automatic selection logic, rather than because the automatic process picked it on its own merits. It matters because a forced switch bypasses the normal quality-level-based ranking, so an admin seeing true here knows the best clock source by QL might not actually be the one in use; a human intervened. Seeing this stuck at true long after a maintenance window has closed would be a red flag that someone forgot to clear a forced switch that was only meant to be temporary.
