Can I retroactively get time data from a GPS log that didn't add the MetaData Fields in advance?

My co-op student recorded GPS data for a survey but didn't use the Add GPS MetaData Fields tool before collecting the data, so all we collected were the points. Is there any way to retroactively find that time data? Using ArcPro.

If there's no GPS metadata fields or editor tracking fields then you're out of luck for properly attributed data. If you're fine with fudging the data, you can try and get a start time and the streaming interval, then use the field calculator to auto-increment the data to create "good enough" timestamps.
