you win in 60 seconds

I just got a pop-up for a second or so stating "You win in 60 seconds". (confused about this, I then allowed mate in 1, but that is not the point). Why did I get that message? We both had still about 2 minutes on the clock...
It's a new (and welcome) feature added. Your opponent disconnected & it was telling you how long it was until you could claim victory if they don't return.
How is the amount of time for that decided? I don't know if this still applies, but before it could differ a lot between how long time it would take before you could claim a win when someone disconnected. Sometimes the message would come instantly, and other times it would take several minutes.

Maybe it's always 60 secs now though..?
I think that the amount of time didn't change, only the fact of that announcement. The amount of time depends is different for bullet, blitz ... etc.

Thank you @Lichess, I appreciate this feature very much.
Is there a way to turn off the "Win in xx seconds" notification? It is a bit of a distraction.
