If you recompile the script, it will reset the number to 1;

There comes a point at which increments of a certain value evidently
no longer register (depending on the size of the total being
incremented). For example:
tell 2 ^ 53 to it = it + 1
--> true
However, if you were to run the aforementioned script every second
(without so much as a tea break), it would still take some 285
million years before that point was reached. (Quite a while to forgo
a cuppa...)
2 ^ 53 / (365242199 * days)
--> 285.427017085496
