Time / times

Thanks for your response to my post.

Does anybody want to know the current time / times in different cities of the world?

I posted this on the forum in response to someone else's post. An anonymous user corrected time as times. I don't think the use of times in this context is correct. I have searched it in the Cambridge Dictionary

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/time

and found that what I thought was correct. Times is used in just one case i.e B2 and in some set phrases. Even so, I want to have an expert's opinion.

Thanks.
