Qualify with times but don't stop (6)

I believe the answer is:

passby

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'don't stop' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'qualify with times' is the wordplay.
'qualify' becomes 'pass' (as in passing an exam or qualification).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'times' becomes 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by').
'pass'+'by'='PASSBY'

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
