Loss by abandonment

Just today I lost 4 or 5 games due to "loss by abandonment".  I did not abandon any games.  I patiently waited for my opponent to make the next move.  After a few minutes, a popup appears that informs me that I lost due to abandonment.  This is very frustrating.  I do not have such disconnect problems with other websites.

How can I mitigate this issue?  Thank you.

Thank you for the links.  I will try different Connection settings in LiveChess to see it helps.

I’ve had the same issue. There is no way I was “disconnected”. Playing from a cell phone on 5G. Full signal. Bunch of crap.

My opponent made a move-it had not been a minute and I loss by abandonment? Based on what !
