This game was showing me that my opponent's timer was still going down until 0. I was shocked when I refreshed the page to find that he had actually made a move and my timer was actually the one that ran down to 0.

That indicates you were disconnected.

The following articles give information to minimize connection related issues.

This bug is a old as chess.com. The game is disconnected from the server, yet the chess.com client doesn't notice this and happily counts down the seconds on the opponent's clock. Why? How?

How is that possible that this was never addressed by any developer in decades?

That happened to me today. Did it say your game was abandoned? It turns out the sites rules are very specific about when you can be away from a game for more than 15 seconds.
