How Does the Cheating Algorithm Work?

Hello. I analyzed one of my recent games that I won, and it said that almost all of my moves was the engine's top choice. However, those were all of my own moves. I am a bit worried that Lichess would flag me for cheating even though I didn't, so I would like to know how Lichess' cheating detection algorithm works.

Thanks,

Can you send the game link please? I can also dm you with more info.
This is blatant cheating. A person with a USCF rating below 1100 should not be playing near-perfect games.

On chess.com, your CAPS score for your two tournament games was 99.3 and 99.5 (this is essentially a percentage detailing likeness to top engine moves). For reference, a grandmaster (above 2400 ELO FIDE - and that's FIDE) would only have CAPS of 97.
