I just lost a live game due to abandonment, with over one minute left. Am I misunderstanding time controls? It was a 15/10 game. I thought both sides get their 15 minutes (+10 seconds per move). Does chess.com use different time rules than OTB?

You must have disconnected for 50 seconds plus, and then that means you auto-resign, or abandon a game.

I never left the game. Or at least I didn't stop looking at the position. I suppose it's possible that my internet service went out, but that doesn't seem likely based on the stability of the service.
