It's going to be significantly more than the year 33000 before we run out of 64-bit epoch timestamps.

The max value for signed 64-but epoch values is more than 292 billion years away, or 20 times the age of the universe itself.

So yeah, we're basically solid forever with 64-bit

33,000 would come from other programs that store the year as a 16-bit signed int. Year 32,768, to be precise.
