My time ran out as I was calculating a difficult position. I got the warning message and this message was the last straw. I withdrew my $10 a month support because I'm tired of seeing these messages as I have never let my time run out on purpose. Let me know when that rule is revoked and I will renew my support.
Nice blackmail.
Yeah, nice blackmail for sure.
I would recommend an actually nice approach to this problem.

The rule's always been there and so was the warning, in recent times it just became more prominent.

Maybe a bit too prominent ...

What is the text of the warning? Maybe if we called it a "tip" instead, it would be more palatable?

Yes, the key to all the bad feeling may be a language issue.
Perhaps "caution" strikes the right balance - "tip" sounds as if it can safely be ignored.
"Warning" is a strong word in English, stronger than its typical translation into some other languages.

I pushed for "Hey fuckstick, stop foot-dragging" but the people who run lichess wanted something less offensive (whatever that means).

Warning also means something different to English-speaking programmers than to normal Anglophones. There's no blame in the programmer sense, but often is in the wider world. When a cop gives me a warning, I feel rebuked. When a compiler does, I don't.
"Caution" sounds good.
