Time to act on your turn. Standard rings: 12s shot + 20s personal time bank (32s max while bank remains). Blitz: 7s + 15s bank. A countdown shows on the action dock when it is your turn.
If the full clock expires, the table auto-checks when free or folds when facing a bet and sits you out for the next orbit (you keep playing via auto-check/fold). A second consecutive miss removes you from the table. Acting or tapping Back clears the strike counter. Private tables use the host’s timer (no bank).
