Good times not to claim as declarer include:
(1) ability to click mouse faster than the software will allow the opponents to review
(2) any time you're not sure or
(3) if there is an outstanding trump

This would all be contingent on the amount of time left in the round. Any other suggestions?

4) When your opps have rejected obvious claims before or arent likely to see the result, its quicker to play it out.

5) When you want to try out a new criss cross backwards flip squeeze just for fun :)

The nature of clocked tournaments online mean that any competent TD will review unfinished boards and adjust if necessary so claims that are left unanswered should not be a problem.
