someone seriously needs to explain to me how I keep timing out on the other persons turn.
Sort:
This is really making me angry. I have no latency issues, no issues with lag at any other point in the game, but we get to the end of time, and even though I'm supposed to get time back after a move, even premoving, I am timing out on the other person's turn. Either the game isn't giving me the time back it's supposed to, or it's counting down my clock on the other person's turn. Either way, it's infuriating to lose on their turn to time out

Hmm. In the last 30 days, your losses on time have increased. You went from 30% of your losses being on time over the last 30 days to 33% over the last 7 days.
Meanwhile, your wins on time went from 45% of the games in the last 30 days to only 34% in the last 7 days.
It seems possible that your opponents may be playing faster.
Meanwhile, your flag indicates that you are playing from Australia. The ping between Australia and San Francisco is not zero. The people you are playing also have a greater than zero ping.
Chess.com has to take those pings and try to adjust for them. I don't know how frequently adjustments are made but they are made and if seconds or fractions of seconds are added to an opponent, it reflects that lag adjustment. It sounds to me that it is done in a completely fair manner but there is no question that when you think you have flagged someone and they suddenly come back alive. it can be upsetting. It seems only fair to point that it probably happens from your opponent's point of view too.
