Js: Unix-Date-Converter returning wrong month

I have this basic function to convert my unix timestamps into a date string. I have seen that it returns the wrong month (29-10 instead of 29-11). I was able to reproduce it on JsFiddle. What could be the problem?

  function unixTime(unixtime) {
      var u = new Date(unixtime*1000);
        return u.getUTCFullYear() +
          '-' + ('0' + u.getUTCMonth()).slice(-2) +
          '-' + ('0' + u.getUTCDate()).slice(-2)
        //  ' ' + ('0' + u.getUTCHours()).slice(-2) +
      //    ':' + ('0' + u.getUTCMinutes()).slice(-2) +
        //  ':' + ('0' + u.getUTCSeconds()).slice(-2)
      }
      
      var test = unixTime(1638178329);
      
      console.log(test);

You can use Date.toLocaleDateString() to format strings in the desired format. Selecting a locale of 'sv' will give you ISO dates and selecting the 'UTC' timeZone will give the correct timezone.

function unixTime(unixtime) {
    return new Date(unixtime * 1000).toLocaleDateString('sv', { timeZone: 'UTC'})
}

console.log(unixTime(1638178329))
console.log(unixTime(Date.parse('2021-05-04')/1000))
console.log(unixTime(Date.parse('2015-12-25')/1000))
