Lost due to lichess restart?

I was playing the following game:

We both had 3 minutes on the clock, then there was a message about lichess server restart, I had winning position, the opponent's clock ticked to 0 and then lichess claimed that I lost on time.

Is it a bug?
i had the same problem in a classical game. I watched my opponents clock run down and then was shown that i lost on time.
I suggest to refresh the page frequently when the restart occurs.
I also dislike losing winning games. A while ago a doctor's assistant suddenly told me to stand on an object to measure my weight while I was playing a winning bullet game. Kinda sucked.

I was playing mine, and after about 10 seconds, refreshed the page, the game went on to continue.
If the page wasn't refreshed, I concluded that it might be a reason why one haven't got to the game page and flagged.
Why would this be a bug?
Lichess literally states that it will restart ahead of time. You should know to not play any games during that duration.
The constant disconnect/reconnect that is happening IS NOT HAPPENING... it's all in your imagination...
This is a bug because when I started the game there was no warning about server going down.

This is also a bug because games should be rather aborted than a win randomly granted to a player with worse position.
