I was playing a 10.0 rapid game and about 10 min into the game my router shuts down due to some reason, I had my phone handy and quickly turns on hotspot. the game reconnects within like 15sec, only for me to find out I lost due to abandonment. I mean I had almost twice as much time left as my opponent but the game was considered abandoned. WHY?

If it was even a shorter game, it might have made sense for such shorter time to abandon, but 15sec for 5+min games? seriously?

I believe that the abandonment logic takes into consideration the evaluation of the current position, as in, it's more likely to assume you're actually quitting if it's an objectively lost position. The eval in your position was -4.1. I think that if the position was closer to equal it would have waited longer for you. I'm not saying that's the best way to handle it, but it does make a difference.
