Main purpose of variable $time_short is usage for logging, access.log.

Existing variables $time_iso8601 and $time_local has bad readability,
because these variables contains timezone after seconds and it has
no space between date and time fields.

Compare readability:

27/May/2021:21:19:12 +0300
27/May/2021:21:19:18 +0300
27/May/2021:21:19:25 +0300
27/May/2021:21:19:32 +0300
27/May/2021:21:19:43 +0300

2021-05-27T21:19:25+03:00
2021-05-27T21:19:32+03:00
2021-05-27T21:19:43+03:00

2021/05/27 21:19:12
2021/05/27 21:19:18
2021/05/27 21:19:25
2021/05/27 21:19:32
2021/05/27 21:19:43

But only proposed variable $time_short has excellent readability,
also this variable is very short, and contains no visual garbage.

If name $time_short is not very good - I can rewrite
my patch and rename it to just $time variable name.

P.S.

log_format standalone '$time_short\t$geoip_country_code\t$remote_addr'
                    '\t$upstream_cache_status\t$upstream_response_time'
             '\t$status\t$scheme\t$host\t$request_method\t$request_uri'
                  '\t$body_bytes_sent\t$http_referer\t$http_user_agent';
