either you have played your first move or you are frequently aborting previous games, these might be the reason
How did I lose this by abandonment?

When my laptop went into sleep mode because of low battery. I quickly put the charger back, wake up the laptop. All this might have taken just a minute or 2 at the most. I come back. And voila, the game is lost is abandonment? Are you kidding me? I was about to lose the game anyway, but that's not the point. This was a rapid game and I am sure 2 mins of network disconnect is allowed? I might just switch over to a free website if this continues!
You have a limited time to reconnect. How much depends on the time control, but there is a maximum time regardless.
