I don't think it would be that helpful. Why do you need to only know when the
last execution was, but no other details among every other cumulated counters?

You should consider using some other tools on top of pg_stat_statements (and
possibly other extensions) that performs snapshot regularly and can show you
all the details at the given frequency.
