JS element offset width returns wrong value

Question

I try to get the width of an element but the returned value is wrong

   let container = document.querySelector('.content')
    console.log(container.offsetWidth) //this will log wrong value 1182px instead of 960px

  console.log(getComputedStyle(container).width) //1182px anyway I don't have any idea from where the value comes

I can not get an idea why the returned value is wrong

Try this. This Worked for mebefore getting offset width you can set the width to

let container = document.querySelector('.content')
container.style.width = "fit-content";
console.log(container.offsetWidth);
