timer_get_us returns the time in microseconds since a certain reference point of history. However, it does not guarantee to return an accurate time after a long period; instead, it wraps around (that is, the reference point is reset to some other point of history) after some periods. The frequency of wrapping around is about an hour (or 2^32 microseconds).
