Clock issue on chess.com

I have recently joined chess.com. In one of the online matches I saw that the opponent had only 30 seconds left and suddenly he got another a min and a half. This was going on in the entire game. Has anyone else felt the issue with clock.

What match was it? It helps to know the actual game so you could see if there were any special time conditions.

Most the games you have played recently have a 15 10 time control. Do you know that means that each player gets their time extended by 10 seconds for every move they complete?

This was the game. I am not sure if the extension was given to as part of 10 sec/move policy.

Alright. What I think happened if I understand you correctly is one of three things:

1: You had major lag of 1 1/2 minutes. This is probably not the case, because if that would happen, the page would have a DNS error for not being able to contact the server.

2: notmtwain hit my second point on the nose, he may have had a delay that caused that.

3: ... You got me, I only have two.
