32bit time?

51 days * 86400 seconds * 1000

=> 4406400000

2^32

=> 4294967296

>>> round((4406400000 - 2**32)/(1000 * 3600), 3) 30.954

Or just ticking every 1.025 ms (e.g. at 975 Hz instead of 1khz)… that brings us to : (4406400000 - 1.025*2 ^ 32)/1000 so a difference of 1.12 hours with the “51 days” mention.
