Token release time is 85.05 secs but actual release happens at 85.06. Is this just rounding issue?
If not, based on conveyor speed this might cause an issue.

Yes and no to it being a rounding issue. The 'Wait Until the Release Time' delay activity waits for an extra 1/1000s to make sure the release time is definitely reached. This is, I believe, to prevent floating point errors which could otherwise cause an infinite loop. That you see the difference as 1/100s is indeed just rounding.
What issue do you foresee due to this? A thousandth of a second is unlikely to matter, as the gap-opimizing isn't always 100% accurate (and neither would be a real system).
You can of course reduce that extra wait time further, as long as it stays > 0.
And the rounding is just for display purposes - so remember you can change the displayed number of decimals in the Model Settings:
