Hi there!
Using Millis() function the variable that returns is a 32-bit positive integer (uint32_t).
The maximum number available is about 4E + 9 milliseconds = 4E + 6 seconds = 71E + 3 minutes = 1200 hours = 49.7 days.
When this time has elapsed, start again from 0.
You can get more information related with Millis() library at the following link to our blog:
