Learndash wrote me with a filter:
/**

* This filter is called when using the learndash lesson drip feed options. This filter allows override timestamp value.
*
* @since 2.4
*
* @param int $gmt_timestamps This is a GMT timestamp value like 1489062972
* @param int $lesson_id The Lesson post ID.
* @param int $user_id The User ID. This is the user_id value passed to the calling function. It may not be the current user
*
* @return int adjusted value for $gmt_timestamp

// Check to ensure our timestamp is not empty
if ( !empty( $gmt_timestamp ) ) {
// Example 1: In this example we want to remove hh:mm:ss: values from the timestamp so the user gets access at midnight.
// Let's assume for the purpose of this example you have a lesson using the 'Make lesson visible X days after sign-up' option with a value
// if '1'. A student started the course on 2017-02-18 02:34pm. This would mean with the '1' value they will get access to the lesson one
// day (24 hours) later on 2017-02-19 02:34pm.
// But assume you don't want the user to have to wait 24 hours. You want the user do get access at the start of the next day 2017-02-19 (midnight)
// The logic below is how this can be done.
// Then convert to YMD format.
$gmt_ymd = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $gmt_timestamp );
// At this point $gmt_ymd is still GMT so we need to adjust it to our local timezone. To do
// we use the WP utility function get_date_from_gmt(). But instead of converting the
// hour/minute/seconds to local we want to set these to 00:00:00 so the time is midnight
$gmt_local_midnight = get_date_from_gmt( $gmt_ymd, 'Y-m-d 00:00:00' );
// so noy we have a nice human readable value in $gmt_local_midnight
// that will be something like '2017-02-15 00:00:00'.
// We now need to return a timestamp (not YMD) back to LD. So we need to convert the YMD
// date back into a timestamp
$gmt_timestamp = learndash_get_timestamp_from_date_string( $gmt_local_midnight, true );
}
// Always return the $gmt_timestamp.
return $gmt_timestamp;
