Clock Lag destroying my rating, not opponents

I’ve noticed lately, that I receive a noticeable time lag of about 8 to 10 seconds when making, what I think is a fast move. Hence my opponent’s clock seems normal and I’ve been winning the game by points,but they beat me  because my clock runs out. This is unfair and I hope this is resolved soon. I paid for a membership and feel like I’m being cheated out of the enjoyment of playing chess on your site.

It’s definitely not my internet, nor is it on my end. It’s the servers and it’s just recently started doing this. It’s becoming quite frustrating and not enjoyable

Same here. I move pretty quick yet my clock is down to one minute when my opponent still has 6 minutes left during 10 minute games. Frustrating and unfair.

I doubt than 10s of lag is a connexion prob, server overload?

That sound most like a connection issue between you and the site.

Some things to check to minimize issues on your end:

Agree with you all, I move my piece and it's a 2-3 sec lag time. For example I have 12 sec remaining and opponent 5 sec, I move they move and game over for me. I go to review moves and times. I get dedected 2 seconds to their 0.5 seconds. It is not fair and takes away from the game.

Lag isn't a membership enticement. The only difference premium gives on connectivity for having premium is no ads.
