[Pamela]

All the time is correct( in the meaning of "always" and also
"a particular period of time"

Quantity is a noun that can be countable and uncountable in the meaning of large amount of smth.
Ex.We sell these goods in small quantities. We sell a large quantity of cotton.

And uncountable only implying the measurement of something by saying how much of it there is.

All the times I said, "What the I've tried to use a swear word but it doesn't work here.,

An extract from a song. Time is countable here.

.
In other words, if you say "all the times" you are referring to "all of the instances that something specific happened". It would most likely be used to refer to the past.
