Daily Rift Time
Your time in the Rift is a daily budget, not a per-run limit.
- You get 15 minutes per day by default.
- It resets at 11:00 AM Pacific, the same daily boundary the rest of the server's weekly payouts use.
- Check what's left and the reset countdown with
/rift time, or in the/riftmenu.
The clock only runs while you're mining
Your time only ticks down while you're actually inside and mining. The short pauses between rounds are free, and time doesn't drain while you're in menus at spawn.
Because of that, your time is pausable and multi-visit. You can leave and come back as many times as you like until your minutes run out. The Rift remembers where you left off (see Rift Points & Shards).
Marks are paid at the end of your rift day
Points you bank on each visit wait until your rift day is over. They convert into Rift Marks (with your Rift Prestige bonus) when your daily time is used up. If you leave time unspent, they convert after the 11:00 AM Pacific reset, the next time you log in or enter the Rift. Leaving early to buy skill tree nodes and coming back later the same day is fine: nothing is lost, the marks just land once at the end. Energy, money and shards from a visit still go to /rift claim every time you leave.
Running low
You get a warning at 30 seconds and again at 10 seconds remaining. When you hit zero, you're eased out cleanly and your inventory is handed back.
Topping up
There's no in-game way to buy more time. The daily budget is the pacing. Staff can grant or reset it with /rift addtime and /rift resettime.
