Here we go with another one of my trifling HOUSERULES.

The Shadowrun Companion gives you the option of using your Karma
Pool on extended actions. I've been using a similiar rule not quite as
generous. In between adventures/missions I do allow characters to use
their Karma pool on any tests but the pool does not refresh until the
next adventure/mission. This is less frequent compared to SRC's end of
every extended action it's used for. If a character wanted to use their
Karma pool inbetween encounters then it would not be refreshed until the
end of the next encounter.

Our group is the same. Karma Pool can be used for just about anything,
but it only refreshes at the end of the adventure, when Karma is
awarded.
