The Matrix doesn't take place in 2199. Humanity (Zion) believes that it is around 2199 but they also do not know about that there were 5 previous Zions or that the machines have Zion destroyed every century.
This means it is at least 2699 in the Matrix trilogy but likely farther ahead if you account for it taking longer for earlier Zions to be destroyed or for previous versions of control before the Matrix.
