Some of you all probably already know this, but I just wanted to put it out there for those who don't.

I emailed Stars Support and asked them about how the time bank in NL cash games are replenished.

Thank you for emailing us about this feature of our PL/NL games. Due
to feedback from our players about Pot Limit and No Limit (PL/NL)
games, we decided to implement the "Time Bank" feature that we first
introduced in our tournament events.

When a player has a particularly difficult decision to make in a
tournament, when they are close to the prize money, or when the prize
money jumps significantly we allow them to "call time" to think about
such difficult decisions. In such situations, a "Time" button will
appear, and you simply click on the button to request additional
thinking time.

Similarly in our PL/NL games, players can be faced with a difficult
decision to make for large amounts of money, since, unlike in a limit
game, there is no upper limit to the amount that you could lose on any
particular hand.

Thus, we implemented a "Time Bank" for our PL/NL games as well, which
works as follows:

-When you sit at the table you will receive a Time Bank of 30 seconds.

-For every 50 hands that you play at that table, your Time Bank will
increase by 10 seconds.

If there is anything further that I can help you with, please let me
know.

I was wondering why the other day I had 90 sec on my time clock.

Never realized the more hands you play at a table the more your timebank increased. Interesting. Now I wonder if this applies to their "fast" tables too. I suppose that would defeat the purpose.

It does apply to the fast tables, but the time bank is smaller (i think.) I played for an hour or so at a table today and noticed i had 40 seconds in the time bank.
