I've yet to see that! 
And if it's because of cheating, there are engines that play variants too so...

In my last game, my opponent (in an overwhelming losing position) ran down the clock to zero, and was then awarded the game! This is not the first time that this happened. I will not renew my membership if this can happen so easily.

If that happened, you got disconnected from the live server.

Yes, that means you lost your connection to the live server. Usually your browser recognises that and attempts to reconnect, but occasionally it fails to do that properly, resulting in what you saw.

I don’t think it’s a cheat, but is my Internet so bad that premoves take 2 seconds?

Yeah, whenever chess.com catches them and deletes their account, they just go back in time to when it hasn't happened yet. Such cheaters!
Now hold on a second, if you go back in time to change the moves you made, wouldn’t his moves change too because he is responding to different moves, but if he did a different set of moves than the ones you saw he was going to do then how did you see them in the first place? Interesting paradox you have created, December
Time cheating?... I had log a complaint about the time contro previouslyl. Basically no cheating from players. The time control was fixed by chess.com. They adjust the to time control in every game. They do this because of some purposes. I think they
And I wield this power too!

I didn’t use 7-11. Can do it [redacted]
Same experience here- several times

I just played someone and my clock went from 44 seconds to 9.6 seconds with the snap of a finger. I was winning the game. I was waiting for him to play. I video recorded the game and you can see on there that I had four full bars of No Lag time. I don't know if there was some clock manipulation, but that wasn't the first time that I have seen this happen on this site. I have been a member for awhile.
This all sounds like manipulation, the question is who’s doing it ! 🙀

O yes! There is tome cheating, not just time delay due to internet, for example my opponent has only one second ramainig, but in the next move sudenly has 10 second.
What is that?
Very simple tome cheating
Very disappointed !!

For this to persist, chess.com must be in on it. It's a conspiracy against YOU.

I have been playing a few games day over the past year, and I do come across time cheating apps . In some cases, the opponent can make over 10 moves a second in final seconds of game and win by time out. Other cases I have seen time added to the opponent timer, or time deducted from my timer. I think cheat apps are tested on chess.com random matches, before being used in competitive game.
Premoves only take .1 second, so 10 moves are possible.
But the server holds the official clocks. In order to modify clocks, someone would need full admin access to the server, which isn't happening. When you see time added it's either increments or lag and lag compensation:

Yeah, my first thought was unrated.
I searched his live games under various filters and didn't catch any game like he described... 99 out of 100 of these claims are exaggerated... but whatever, doesn't affect me either way.
