warning about leaving game.

In a 1 m game (lichess.org/KHpLtj4Sc4Le), the connection fails, end up losing a winning position with 29 seconds on the clock and getting a warning. The wireless failed, I refreshed the page, and went for the mobile phone, had time enough to start the app and finish the game. With more than 37000 games, with none abandoned on purpose, the benefice of doubt should be given for 29 seconds., on a winning position. Sometimes, I have to see the offline opponent clock run from 3 minutes, the entire 3 minutes. There is something wrong with the algorithm if i'm not allowed my 29 seconds and others get minutes and minutes.
Don't worry about it too much @yotta666. You clearly didn't mean it and the message is just sent whatever the circumstances - it would be more difficult to program in circumstances when the message shows or doesn't show. With that many games you're clearly a respected member of the community, the message doesn't change that.
I guess you are right. It just found it really unfair at the time.
#1 The maximum wait to claim victory on disconnection is 120 seconds. How are opponents waiting for 3 minutes in a 1-minute game?
