In Avengers: Endgame the Avengers try to pull the
time heist -- basically trying to retrieve Infinity Stones from the past.
When Iron Man is not able to retrieve the Tesseract from the battle in New York in 2012 (as Loki takes it and disappears) -- Iron Man and Captain America travel further back in time to year 1970 to retrieve the tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
If, for a second let us assume that Iron Man in fact got the Tesseract in New York in 2012 and just took a detour to 1970 -- let's say to collect some Pym particles (just for fun) -- would he be able to get the Tesseract from the S.H.I.E.L.D. base and finally end up with two Tesseracts -- and repeating the same process with n Tesseracts with n -> Inf ?

There is some precedent in the comics for this not working.
In the comics, the alternate reality rules are taken to the extreme, with alternate timelines constantly branching off from each other (no meddling time-travelers required), resulting in countless alternate realities. In many stories, sufficient magic or technology allows people to travel from one reality to another. And in these stories it's been established that the Infinity Stones don't work outside their home reality - that is, if you bring an Infinity Stone to a different timeline, it loses its power and becomes nothing more than a pretty gem.
Does the same rule apply in movie continuity? Who knows? But if it does, then we could surmise that if you go back and "steal" a Tesseract, then bring it back further in time and get another Tesseract, your second trip has now split you off into a separate timeline - which would mean that first tesseract is no longer in its own reality, and is therefore no longer functional. (Note that this isn't the case for the Tesseract Loki stole, since that one remained in its own timeline). In other words, you can never have more than one of each "working" Infinity Stone in any given reality.

@Jasper It all depends on the (unexplained) details of when/how alternate realities are spawned. Perhaps taking something back in time spawns a new reality, but taking something forward in time doesn't (since you can't cause the grandfather paradox or anything by going forward).
