Hi From what I can see, you can send it a command that puts a new “oldest date” number into flash. Since it also tracks Glonass and Galileo, that will stretch out the time before you *need* to do something (like into the next century). They also have the “no dates before the firmware was issued” check. There may be other date checks in there. Those are just what I’ve found so far.
It also is likely that the “new” GPS sats will be flying within 19 years. That will add more bits to the GPS time fields. Who knows if the “modern” modules already handle those bits or not ….
