Your comment piqued my curiosity, and I looked at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_an_expanding_universe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_an_expanding_unive... and found:
"Stars are expected to form normally for 10^12 to 10^14 (1–100 trillion) years"
So it seems Gy and even Ty units will be a reasonable scale for events during the period of star formation.
