I'm sorry, I think I may not have fully grasped your question, here's my guess about what you are asking based on the agglomeration of English words you've put:

You are using Flutter to develop the front-end of an application while using Firebase for the back-end. You want to make sure that each device could only create one account every 48 hours. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

There's never a unique solution to those kind of questions, and I think your approach (timestamp + some ID that tells devices apart) is a decent one.

To get the device ID, it looks like you can use the device_info_plus plugin according to here: How to get unique device id in flutter?

You need to find and store unique device ID in the database.

You can find unique device using this plugin

dependencies:
  device_info_plus: ^3.2.3

Create a method:

Future<String?> _getId() async {
  var deviceInfo = DeviceInfoPlugin();
  if (Platform.isIOS) { // import 'dart:io'
    var iosDeviceInfo = await deviceInfo.iosInfo;
    return iosDeviceInfo.identifierForVendor; // unique ID on iOS
  } else if(Platform.isAndroid) {
    var androidDeviceInfo = await deviceInfo.androidInfo;
    return androidDeviceInfo.androidId; // unique ID on Android
  }
}
