Question about omniscience

Sorry to bother you with a question that might seem silly, but it's a genuine question I've been asking myself.

To give you some context, I was reading the Wikipedia page on the Akashic Records. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's basically a universal memory where all events, thoughts, and emotions are recorded since the beginning of time. And given what I've just discussed, I wondered if this could be a suitable description for someone categorized as Omniscient ?

I reread the omniscience page, and it mentions that the character must have absolute knowledge of their universe, not just infinite, but knowledge of everything, so what I think is past, present and future.

However, when discussing this on Discord, I was told that omniscience was not a matter of past, present or future, but a matter of range.

To be sure, I preferred to ask the question here, so I can have the lives of more people.
