Since when was this a thing?

Gonna be honest: If that turned out to be Biscuits' actual power, I would pretty much be totally okay with it.

Since Aradiabots started jumping from all points to the Battlefield without actually flying there.

Edit: Actually, since doomed Dave jumped from where he was on LOHAC to Alpha Dave's house. So the very first instance of time travel.

I would have said when Doomed Dave traveled all the way from LOHAC to his roof before Alpha Dave entered the Medium in order to save John, myself.

EDIT: Ha! Too slow, Bit!

Just because we aren't shown the boring ass walking doesn't mean it doesn't happen. For example:

Except that it's always referred to, and we WERE actually shown an Aradiabot jump to the Battlefield. As well as numerous Aradiabots teleporting in.

Then why would it explicitly state that Dave spent an hour walking around when he could have just teleported somewhere warm in an instant?

Yeah sure we're shown an Aradiabot in a black void on one page, and then on the battlefield the next, but to me that just seems like artistic flair and saving time. What would the reader rather see? Aradiabot going to a "safe" point in time, flying to the battlefield, and then going to the end? Or Aradiabot skipping straight to the end?

On top of all of this teleporting would be more likely attributed to Space powers than Time powers.

Edit- Also there's no proof that those other Aradiabots teleported in from elsewhere, or if they were on the battlefield when the warped to that time, since we can't see what they were doing prior to entering the time of that panel.

You may be misinterpreting "ran around for an hour." Especially when you consider that there is no place warm on Jade's planet, and it wouldn't have even taken Dave that long to traverse the gates in order to get to a different one.

Also, the very first major instance of time travel in this comic showed him traveling from his planet inside the Medium to his roof outside the Medium, and, as Bit showed, Aradia has been shown teleporting on multiple occasions as well.

You are disregarding several instances actively shown in the comic in defense of an arguably inaccurate interpretation of one sentence of dialogue.

How about Doomed Future Dave warping from LOHAC's surface to Dave's roof when he rewound?

Bzzzt, wrong. That was his roof post-entry, hence the hatched sprite and the fact that none of the minions look like Dave.
