Simulation only: the film never gives an exact loop count. The popular 34-year estimate is not canon.

First repetition

How time works here

The external day repeats, but Phil remembers previous loops. Story phases are not numbered canonical repetitions.

Site's assumption

The counter is a hypothetical demonstration: N repeated days correspond to N days of accumulated experience. The film does not establish a precise total duration.
