I play very long games on Lichess. And from time to time my connection drops. Which, in theory, should not be a problem in 20+10 or higher time controls. But from time to time my opponents run to claim a victory in totally lost positions when I am disconnected, like it hapenned in this game: lichess.org/TR6CWMs3/white
I had 6 minutes left vs 25 seconds on my opponent, I had +9 advantage with no counter-chances for my opp at that moment, then I suddenly lost connection for a short time, and my opponent claimed victory ASAP - in 1 minute.
What I want to say is this time treshold is maybe ok for Blitz and Bullet to prevent people to rage-quit the games in lost positions, but it is ridiculously low for Classical, especially for the games >20 minutes per side. If the one agrees to play such a game he should have patiency to wait for disconnected opponent for a few minutes. I do not leave the games intentionally! Especially I have no motivation to do it in totally won positions. And "claim the victory" option in such situations is absolutely weird and very annoying.
