Game threatened to stop before time ran out

I sat in front of my blitzgame and tried to figure out if I blundered and tried to salvage my game with about left (3+2).

At over one minute left the chess.com red text appeared threatening to end the game in a couple of seconds. Some stupid code apparently thought I wasnt playing anymore. Well, I was. I still had time. Suddenly I only had a couple of seconds to decide, and I went wrong, the match obviously went downhill from there.

What nonsense is this? Why can I not use my time? Is it the same when playing classical? After a couple of minutes you are suddenly forced to move?

No, I sat in front of the game and thought about the position and the next move-.-

So, nothing new on that front? None of the tens of thousands of players here is bothered by that?

Is there a mod to change the clock? Im constantly losing because the clock sound is so bad and the positioning of the clock is so bad.

Ig u have to use some extension to change the clock size to a bigger one. I used one but had to remove it since the large clock looked ugly on my screen. Its bright, vibrant colours distracted me from games when I played a test one unrated.

There is a maximum time that can be taken on moves, based on the time control and where in the game you are.

think that article might be out of date and the long move timer is in effect for the whole game.

Thanks for the link, how would i find that ;/. Thats probably it. More than half... but still, if its lost after a mistake in that turn...

Anybody can send me a link to extensions or something? That clock problem is still bothering me hard..

Normally the game gets auto-resigned when you disconnect (LOL I lost most of my games because of this!)

I'm so sorry! I only read the title. After reading all the comments, now I have no idea what happened.
