Is it possible for IDs to be recycled?

Good afternoon, dear community. I wanted to share that I have an app built with Bubble, and I have some historical data in a database called ‘Activities.’ This data will not be modified, but I need to query it from time to time. I was considering creating a database to store the historical information, but additionally, I have a template in Google Sheets where I keep a record of the activities. The problem is as follows: if I delete an element from the ‘Activities’ table and make a copy of it in the historical database I am creating, is it possible that a future entry in ‘Activities’ might recycle the ID previously used in a deleted record?

Unique IDs are not reused, the first portion is the UNIX timestamp, the 2nd portion is a long random number
