Hello,
I recently recorded one of my games and noticed something very strange with the game clock.
At the 38-second mark in my recording, the White player’s clock should have continued counting down normally. Instead, the clock went:
40 → 39 → 38 (normal)
then suddenly jumped back to 40 → 39 again, instead of continuing with 37, 36, ....
This means the timer is not aligned with real-world seconds — it looks like extra seconds are being added or the countdown is repeating. I have the video proof attached, and you can clearly see this reset happening.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it a known bug or lag problem?

#1 this could be because of increment. If you are playing a game with increment (like 1|1, 3|2, 10|5, etc.), a little bit of time will be added to your clock each move.

It's probably that
Thanks for the suggestion, but this was not an increment game. The time control I played had no increment, so the clock should only count down steadily. If any one need video give me watsapnuber
