Never, according to the documentation you linked. Admittedly, the documentation confuses the reader by chatting about some irrelevant internal Windows details. Also, the tone of the documentation raises a suspicion that this code might return a bad value on Windows: def fifty_days(): a = time.monotonic() time.sleep(50 * 24 * 3600) return time.monotonic() - a That is, the internal integer wrap is not guarded against between the calls to time.monotonic(), maybe.
