Time does not run slower or faster, as time can only read more or less time on a clock.
Time dilation proposition attempts to convey the difference in the elapsed time as measured by two clocks. It is either due to a relative velocity between them or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations.
However, time dilation is a defective proposition as this violates character of time. Time is not dilatable since time is the emergent property of the events, whereas events invoke time. The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole, in irreversible succession is know as time. Time would not exist in absence of events even if there is existence without space. Therefore, for time to exist both events and space is a prerequisite. Events are real three dimensional and time is conceptual single dimensional conceptualised as residing in the fourth, imperceptible dimension. Events are real and time is conceptual. Events invoke readings of time on the clock.
A frame of reference in space is the Universal three dimensional frame of reference for everything, and events take place within it. So even if one imposes a moving local frame of reference relative to another observer on Earth even then, both frame of references between the observer and the moving one would be the one, within the Universal three dimensional frame of reference ultimately.
Therefore, no influence or interaction can slow down time but frequencies of the events can be lowered, hence, for an external observer wavelength of the moving mass-energy body can be enlarged due to a relative velocity between them or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations.
It is rather wavelength dilation in the event and not time dilation.
