It can also be used as a time wasting tactic. The assistant referees at this years World Cup seem to have cracked down on this by adding on much more additional time after the normal 90 minutes. There was 9 additional minutes in the 2nd half of the US-Iran match. That’s an enormous amount of time. It’s typically between 3-5 minutes of additional time.

1-2 minutes isn't too uncommon if it was a half with a small amount of fouls/interruptions. The first half of the Brazil vs Switzerland match is a good example of it, with only an extra added minute.
