Your problem demands a certain number of bits. Counting milliseconds in a month needs 32 bits. It's not just a random number.

Then you use an integer type that has at 32-bits? uint32_fast_t for computation, uint32_least_t for storage, if you are resource constrained.

This is never not the case. You always need to specify the number of bits.
