esp_timer_get_time gives wrong time after two or three hours

[yuvraj.singh]

I have observed the esp-idf API, esp_timer_get_time reports invalid time after a few hours. I have dumped pseudo-code below:

Code: Select all

/* Wait loop for 5ms */
unsigned long time = esp_timer_get_time() + (5 * 1000);
while(esp_timer_get_time() < time);

tick rate is 1000.

Any idea on this?
