Komodo 14.1 bmi2 configuration question

[chesskobra]

Komodo 14.1 seems to plays instantly under Cutechess GUI, regardless of the time control. Against other engines if I run a game with 3m+2s, then by the end of the game Komodo has 4-5 minutes, and if I run a game between two copies of Komodo, the game ends in a second with 60-70 moves. So I looked at the default configuration. I noticed that there is a setting called Time Usage which takes values 0 to 9 (0 default). If I set it to 9, then the game goes on. But here I noticed another strange thing. I ran a game between Komodo 14.1 (default skill level 25) and Komodo 14.1 (skill level 24). In both copies, I set Time Usage to 9. Now Komodo with skill level 24 is still playing instantly, while Komodo (default skill) is using its time.

I observe the same behaviour of skill level 24 under xboard.

I would like to know what the appropriate setting should be.
