Just noticed this recently but sometimes the time clock moves up.  On a game with 15 min I managed to end it with 24 minutes to spare.  Anyone else noticing this problem?

That's not a problem, it happens because that game had an increment. It means that after each move you'll gain a few extra seconds (generally ten more seconds per move).

Yes, the "bonus time" is a time increment so if the bonus time for a game is set as 5 then you will gain 5 seconds after every move you make.
