You must make a move in 13 seconds or you game will resign

This message appeared during first 10 moves of my game (on move 6 or so). Why on the Earth am I not allowed to think on opening moves??? This is against your own guidelines. I reported this two weeks ago on another Kings Area, and this has never been fixed.

You know, all those popup messages are pretty distracting (or another ones saying "you played Alekhine defense"). Is there a way to disable them altogether?

There is a long move timer in the first ten moves.

Right. I played 3+0, so half of game is 90 seconds. But I was told to make a move in 13 seconds or so. so clearly the timer is broken. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/why-must-i-make-a-move-in-10-seconds-or-so#comment-63801981

Well, it would pop up when you were getting close to losing by taking a long time on one of the first ten moves... probably after 75 seconds and it might say 13 seconds left by the time it popped up.

/ You didn't say what game it occurred in and I am not going to look through all your recent games.

E.g. it happened in this game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/26676646675 when my timer was at 2:34.

Im probably being stupid here, but you won? Seems like your opponent had the issues? Maybe if you both had that message there was a site issue or something…

Seems like a bug anyway: opponent got disconnected and I'm getting a warning..?

I'm complaining because sometimes I need to think during first ten moves, and those popups are distracting.
