The first thing I ask is "what is the least amount of time I should use for any one move?" Answer is time remaining / moves remaining. I then add to this in various ways, depending on whether I am ahead on the clock, behind on the clock, etc. That 2 minute value should never show up if things work correctly (assuming the time was set normally, it is in tournament mode, and I didn't screw something up badly).
