Not sure where 12 minutes added time came from in the Manchester City v Ipswich game but part was from two VAR reviews.

One was stopping play for an OFR a while after the incident. Time should be added on for reviews but is there anything explicit in the laws to make it clear that that means adding on the time between when the incident happened that is being reviewed and when the referee stops play?

Looking through the live reporting on BBC, in the second half there was - ten substitutions over eight separate substitution stoppages (with three Man City players going off injured, which I assume would have taken up more time), one caution (then two during added time), two goals (one a penalty which was given after a VAR check and OFR), and a goal disallowed for offside after a VAR check... without watching the entire half myself, 12 minutes doesn't sound particularly unrealistic.
