What I need to do to fix this?

2

Incomplete log.

See Pasting Logs for Support.

Does https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs#Out_of_Scope_Issues apply?
Or sdwdate never completes?

3

sdwdate never completes

4

A general connectivity issue? No connectivity is functional or only sdwdate isn’t functional?

If there is no connectivity whatsoever, see
Unsuitable Connectivity Troubleshooting Tools

If sdwdate is the only broken thing, full sdwdate log is required.

I found a solution, I just had to set the system time a couple of hours earlier
