A better unit is, IMO, a second resolution (which at least is a basic

I worked out that an integer of a little over 200 bits is sufficient to
represent the age of the known Universe in units of the Planck interval
(5.39e-44 seconds). Therefore, rounding to something more even, 256 bits
should be more than enough to measure any physically conceivable time down
to that resolution.
