Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time. The base measurement the game uses is referred to as a TimeTick(also referred to as game ticks in this article). Each TimeTick can be generally considered to be an ingame turn at 100 quickness.
There are 24 hours in a day, and 50 game ticks in an hour.
Eras
Years are separated into two separate eras: BR (Before Resheph) and AR (After Resheph). These two are separated by the year that Resheph resigned as the last Sultan. Like the real life equivalents BCE and CE, years in BR counts backwards, so 60 BR is later in time than 100 BR.
PP is an alternate era name used in 
Frivolous Lives, Vol. I, which denotes the rule before the 6 sultans. Like BR, the years in PP count backwards. The author denotes PP as "prior [to] publication". However, the date of which Frivolous Lives is published is unknown, which makes the relation between PP and BR/AR vague.
Months
A month is measure in game as a length of 30 days (36,000 game ticks), except for Ut yara Ux, which is 5 days long (6,000 ticks). One year is 13 months, 438,000 game ticks, or 365 days.
