That seems like a drastic overestimate. Any basis for that?
If a much better telescope comes along or an especially dynamic phenomenon is discovered there might be a temptation to take more pictures of something that has already been captured, but otherwise, why would you? This data is expensive and will probably remain so for quite some time, for the obvious reasons.
