Naturally some of us travel while using this app so connectivity and drop out issues can last longer than 1 minute. Why not increase the 1 minute count down to 3 minutes for dropouts and connectivity issues ? 1 minute is way too short if you want people to use this app while travelling.

3 minutes on all live games?

3 minutes every time you disconnect?

If you disconnected five times for two minutes each time in a 15 10 game, would that be reasonable?

It's definitely better than the alternative of 1 minute. I still lose on time even if I'm disconnected 5 times for 2 min. As soon as I reach 2 min, forfeit me for a loss, but 1 min is ridiculous if you want us to play this anywhere.
