Well, say you have a 3 - 7 timebank, it means you have three days for each move before it starts to drain your total 7 day timebank.

If your time ends before the game has been concluded, your opponent can claim a win by means of a timeout.

does the time bank regenerate after each game if you have allowed time to drain out of it, or is it a one time thang so that if you have let your seven days worth of time run out, your out of time for your time bank.

You can decide all settings before each game including time.

From one of your games :-

Time controls

1 day per move. 7 days timebank.

White has 22 hours and 43 minutes to move. (plus timebank)

White has 7 days of timebank remaining.

Black has 7 days of timebank remaining.

This means that if you are supposed to make a move by 12:00 o'clock for example and you are late the timebank starts running. That is a kind of insurance against losing on time.

You might wanna consider playing the 1 day to move with no timebank, as I've chalked up quite a few wins that way.
