I am trying to generate 3000 fake records in C# with condition that each 1000 items will have same time stamp(update_time) in UTC milliseconds, then next 1000 will have same time stamp in UTC milliseconds. how to achieve that?

I am trying to generate 3000 fake records in C# with condition that each 1000 items will have same time stamp(update_time) in UTC milliseconds, then next 1000 will have same time stamp in UTC milliseconds. how to achieve that?

private static IReadOnlyCollection<Document> GetDocumentsToInsert()
        {
            return new Bogus.Faker<Document>()
            .StrictMode(true)
            //Generate item
            .RuleFor(o => o.id, f => Guid.NewGuid().ToString()) //id
            .RuleFor(o => o.update_time, f => DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();)
            .Generate(3000);
        }

        // <Model>
        

        public class Document
        {
            public string update_time {get;set;}
            public string id{get;set;}
        }

The following code seems to work:

void Main()
{
   var now = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
   var documentFaker = new Faker<Document>()
            .StrictMode(true)
            .RuleFor(o => o.id, f => Guid.NewGuid().ToString())
            .RuleFor(o => o.update_time, f =>
               {
                  if (f.IndexFaker % 3 == 0) now = now.AddMilliseconds(10);
                  return now.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds().ToString();
               });
   var fakeDocuments = documentFaker.Generate(30);
   fakeDocuments.Dump();
}

public class Document
{
   public string update_time { get; set; }
   public string id { get; set; }
}

Every 3 generated documents, the update_time is updated +10 milliseconds. Adjust the code as necessary to fit your requirements.
