JMeter setting timestamp value after predefined amount of minutes

We are using JMeter to test load for some simple html pages (GET requests for a total of ~1.5 hour). In order to test server ehcache mechanism (forcing cache store etc.), we are using a query param named ts in pages' request path as following:

Path: SERVER_NAME/page1?ts=${__time(Y-M-D-H-mm)}

This will create different requests per minute/hour/ etc - (of course different threads can use same timestamp value ts). As an example:

Is it possible to allow timestamp value only after predefined amount of minutes? E.g. for previous example if we want 5 minutes:

Thanks.

One of possible solutions would be pre-generating the timestamps and writing them into the CSV file somewhere in setUp Thread Group using JSR223 Sampler and the code like:

import groovy.time.TimeCategory

def now = new Date()
def numberOfLinesInCsv = 100

use(TimeCategory) {
    1.upto(numberOfLinesInCsv, {
        now = now + 5.minutes
        new File('ts.csv') << (now.format('Y-M-D-H-mm')) << System.getProperty('line.separator')
    })
}

Once done you can add CSV Data Set Config in the main Thread Group and configure it to read ts.csv file.
