Time not decreasing or even increasing

I'm playing a game where the time of my opponent not only does not decrease but it seems to increase too... I surely saw his time being at 36 hrs left then 34hrs, later again 36. It is definitely not a case of my opponent being on vacation, although he has been on vacation quite a few times during the game. Is this a bug or how else does he do that? Is it some special benefit of some level of membership? I'm a move away from winning the game, but still, it does not seem to be very fair...

There is a policy of a minimum 24 of vacation removed when a player goes on vacation.  http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/26/0/how-does-vacation-work--how-much-time-do-i-get

Assuming it is still in force, the second part not stated in the help entry is if a player uses less than 24 hours of vacation then the remainder of the minimum 24 hours is added to game time.

Yeap, That's explains it... that player has been in and out of vacation quite often... hence, the policy you mentioned must be still in place. Thanks tons for the clarification!
