x-timestamp
`x-timestamp` appears in the info block. Its value is a string. Used by a single provider across 5 OpenAPI documents. Observed values include `2023-05-30T15:27:20Z`, `2023-05-30T15:27:19Z`, `2022-05-03T09:24:07Z`. Consistent with units & formatting — this is inferred from where the key appears and what it carries, not from any published definition.

Why this is not in OpenAPI
Extensions exist because a provider needed something the specification would not carry. Most of what they hold is not the API contract at all — it is operational metadata about the contract: documentation, lifecycle, policy, provenance, and now agents. That metadata is usually better placed alongside the contract, in an Overlay or an APIs.json index, than crammed inside it. See everything else doing the data & schema semantics job.
