With runners on base I call time to clean the plate. It uses the same amount of time than if I wouldn't call time, and it heads off something happening behind my back that may need my input to sort out.
I also call time with runners on base to change baseballs.
I also call time with runners on base when a pinch hitter comes up.
Of course, others do things differently, and they are not necessarily wrong. I use what works for me, and it's worked very well.
