It should be safe as long as you put in a valid timestamp and not some other value. If you run a large instance, then you run the risk of pseudo-DDoSing yourself by sending a large amount of requests to dead servers, but unless you’re a large instance you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
Good point. I think that might be it actually. This could be the reason.
