Personally I don't think the time-stamp is necessary. But your original post said there was a requirement of not generating a new image within 48 hours. The timestamp is used for that purpose. If your data is pretty static, you can certainly drop that 48 hour checking bit.

Indeed, data can't be refreshed more often that every 48 hours, but not all data will change in every update, so this is a superior solution.
