Not too long ago today, I was playing a bullet game, and I had a good position, but this same error occured and I couldn't finish the game. I want a rating points refund.

If the loss was due to server errors, you can contact support and they should be able to refund lost rating if the timing coincided with an outage.

Looks like this post has been active for 3 years now, chess.com is not doing anything about it. I request everyone to ask for diamond membership refunds

Constant Server errors, luckily my payment stops the 22, and then only Lichess...A chess-site that cares about players not about money.

Lots of these the past few days...

It's been happening a lot, it seems the servers are wildly unstable and bad.

It's primarily very high loads and staff are working on optimizations and capacity.

You have no idea how hard the staff is working to fix these problems.

Lichess has no idea what it is like to handle millions of people coming on at once.

Lichess reports it has 47,000 games going now.

Chess.com has 448,000 going.
