I don't think either that it's an elegant way to get the timezone info from a report. Assembling a report definition, downloading the report and parsing the resulted file is much more complicated than just getting a field of an object as it was in v13 AccountService with using client libraries. So I don't really understand why it's necessary to shut down a service until there is no a real replacement for it.
After experiencing with the Account performance report some issues / concerns has arisen: - You have to include at least one statistical field into the report to get any data in the report. I tried to get a report with the only field "AccountTimeZoneId" in the report definition and there was no row containing the data. After I added "Impressions" to the definition, I got the result. - It seems to me that <includeZeroImpressions> tag doesn't work for this case. I set it to TRUE but it didn't give back any row for an account that has no impressions for the selected period. You should set the period to "ALL_TIME" but you cannot even get the timezone this way if the account has no impressions at all. - As the value of timeZone is like that timeZone='(GMT+01:00) Berlin' instead of "Europe/Berlin" you have to pull the report regularly to detect when the daylight saving time changes. And I'm not convinced at all that it'll change to GMT+02:00 when the timezone shifts to summer time.
