Defined in: packages/common/src/Evolu/Timestamp.ts:68

Millis is a timestamp in milliseconds, like Date.now(), but limited to the maximum value representable in 6 bytes (281474976710655) minus 1 (reserved for infinity). This enables more efficient binary serialization, saving 2 bytes compared to the typical 8-byte (64-bit) timestamp representation.

This limit is enforced to prevent data corruption. If a device's clock exceeds this range, Evolu will stop saving data until the clock is corrected.
