Time running out very fast

I have had this experience countless times but not with 10-15 seconds. I have watched a 5 second lead evaporate in two moves made faster than my opponent. I saw once where I had 1.5 seconds and my opponent moved with less than one second...and then I had lost on time as soon as he moved! Something, maybe many things are wrong, but I will not upgrade my membership.
Lagomorph, you are not reading the comments just offering insults. I have seen an opponent lose on time when he should have won against me. Look at the content and retire the ad hominem comments.

Lag.com strikes again. Bullet is unplayable. Bilichess works fine meanwhile.

This just happened to me a few games in a row in bullet and has happened before, hence why I researched it. Every move I would lose 2-3 seconds, even if I pre-moved. My opponents didn’t seem to have the same issue. I rarely watch the clock in bullet but noticed I kept losing on time. So I watched closely for one game and there’s an obvious issue with my clock. Stopped playing after that.
ive had time out recently when there was still time on the clock. there is definitely something weird going on

Network lag can easily be within the range of 10 ~ 15 seconds, especially if the problem is close to you. (either your router or your ISP)

As a former academic philosopher, I very much like your username.

I had 15 seconds in hand and when it was my turn, I lost the game by timeout in just 1 second. This has happened few times in the past but I used to ignore it as one-off event. Does anyone faced the same issue and how did you fix it
I faced this issue quite alot seems the engine decides according to the move if the engine considers the move bad your time reduces on every move, however even tough when i am winning and my position is so strong still it slows down the time, seems related to subscription as well if you have a paid subscription then issue may not happen frequently, those who think it could be false argument i have proper proof of the games
I love chess.com but I literally have 30 seconds on 1+1 game. Unless I premove, then time is added. The issue isn't severe in the beginning of a game. It's usually after 20-30 sec. I agree, 10-15 sec disappear each time if you think 3-4 seconds. It's annoying but I learned that I may play on another site. I just like chess.com but I can't afford losing all the time. You can check my games, almost all games lost on time with better position. Granted, the problem is less severe with a tablet.
@speeduptheserver, Speaking of the silent majority, everytime you post a comment stating a real problem going on at chess.com an army of trolls come after you to tell you it is not important, it does not matter, it does not really happen, or speak something completely off the point trying to divert the conversation, the army of trolls are easily identified, they believe they do a favour to chess.com while it is just the opposite, this thread is another example, chess.com has a big BIG problem with the clocks and the trolls are out there to blame the users, ban the users, gag the users deny the evident problem. When you see this kind of attitude you make the question where do they think they are going ??? Everyone knows this is a problem at chess.com and in other servers and probably more here than anywhere else, why do they keep denying the problem ???They should do a good exercise of self criticism and start by apologising for the inconvinience. Denying the problem is an insult to the people that come here and see and know what is evident .
The next thing is if fair play is the motto and clocks do not work reliably where is the fair play ??? Worst of all is the attitude of denying the problem means they agree with the cheating ... or ???
