I found this post on the forum which seemed similar to my case: https://1password.community/discussion/115048/fixed-wrong-2fa-one-time-passwords-generated-on-windows-10-2004-in-1password-and-1passwordx

I even tried changing the TZ to different one and back to my TZ, restarted 1Password, but still resulted in the wrong codes. I then tried to sync time with the time server but that wasn't going through for me, for some weird reason.

So, I connected to a VPN region in my country (IN) and tried syncing again. It said "successful sync" even though everything was already correct and nothing changed according to Settings UI. But for bizarre reasons, doing that fixed the 2FA codes for me -- they're now in sync with all my other devices.
