Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
pd.date_range("2020-3-28", periods=5, freq="D", tz="Europe/London").tz_convert("UTC")

Issue Description

The above returns:

DatetimeIndex(['2020-03-28 00:00:00+00:00', '2020-03-29 00:00:00+00:00',
               '2020-03-29 23:00:00+00:00', '2020-03-30 23:00:00+00:00',
               '2020-03-31 23:00:00+00:00'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns, UTC]', freq='D')

The frequency is not constant (it is once 23h), and thus should freq not be "D".

Expected Behavior

DatetimeIndex(['2020-03-28 00:00:00+00:00', '2020-03-29 00:00:00+00:00',
               '2020-03-29 23:00:00+00:00', '2020-03-30 23:00:00+00:00',
               '2020-03-31 23:00:00+00:00'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns, UTC]', freq=None)
