Chess.com keeps saying I abandoned match, even when I haven't.

Whenever I try to play rapid, it randomly makes me abandon the game at some point, even after I do my move and wait for my opponent. Does anybody else have this issue?

It looks like you have only had three games recently lost by abandonment. They were lost due to a new rule that if you're disconnected for 30 seconds when down at least 5 by engine evaluation, the game gets counted as lost by abandonment.
