Inconsistent time formats

Hi there,

Attempting to parse the time strings in the responses is proving difficult. Throughout the api multiple timestamp formats are being used.

A good example of this is the accounts/{account_id}/transfers endpoint.
The created_at, completed_at, canceled_at and processed_at all look like “2022-08-23 10:46:19.73824+00” . The coinbase_payout_at field within the details section of that response looks like “2015-02-18T16:54:00-08:00”

It would be great to have better consistency in the timestamps throughout the API.
