bonus time
Added playing minutes
Bonus time is time that feels like a gift—unexpected extra moments beyond what was anticipated or allotted.
It often describes periods after a deadline has passed or when something could have ended but didn't: The doctors gave him six months, so every day after that was bonus time.
In sports, it refers to additional playing time added for stoppages.
The phrase carries a sense of gratitude or freedom, suggesting time unburdened by ordinary obligations.
