Which one is correct ?

You have used double past tenses, and I really would recommend that you do not use short forms because the tenses go haywire .. I did not get time(collective), I did not get money (collective),I did not get enough food (collective), I did not hear (present tense verb), I did not see (present tense verb).. etc..

I did not got time is wrong because the words "did not" is always followed by the present tense..i.e.I did not get time(collective), I did not get money (collective),I did not get enough food (collective), I did not hear (present tense verb), I did not see (present tens

I don't know what time it is, I don't have the time, and I didn't get it when you told me. In past tense I suppose you could say, I would have gotten the time had you spoken more clearly. Otherwise forget "got."
