Neither of those actually apply.

The problem with time manipulation is stopping the atmosphere as well as the target. Since the area of effect is a sphere, stopping time would prevent them from even touching their would be target directly. It is possible to set up a huge spam of attacks that would be almost impossible to avoid, or simply plan around the opponent at breakneck speed, but timestopping can't be used to hit somebody while they're helpless. It's strong, but not brokenly overpowered.

As for travelling through time, they can only alter it in that space, so they wouldn't be able to actually reach the past to change anything. Time manipulation rather than time travel, basically.
