Since we’re discussing timescales over which there’s a not insignificant chance something radical will happen to society, there’s also the fact that the day is getting longer by 2ms every hundred years. If you’re scheduling out 625,000 years, that’s 12-some seconds by the end, compounded - 6 extra seconds every day by the 312,000th year, etc.
