Not + all the time

Thank you for checking my question.


“I’m not here all the time.”

Which does this sentence mean, “I’m not always here. (I’m sometimes at other places.)” or “I’m always not here. (I’m always at other places.) ?


In “I’m not here all the time.”, “all the time” is located after “not.”

So, I think this sentence means “I’m not always here.”, because for example, “I don’t like that too much.” means like “I like that a little bit.”, not “I hate that.”.


Am I correct?
