Issues with "game abandoned", bug or insufficient time to reconnect in long time controls

I'm not sure if theres a bug or the code is set so that if your connection is unstable for 2-4 seconds you get a forced loss, but this has happened in at least 3 of my long games now. My most recent one was very frustrating, as it was a very interesting game lichess.org/c94vsdIreMPs . It simply said reconnecting at the top of my screen for 2 seconds, before it forced a loss on me. It wasn't on my phone, as the other two were, and I have a pretty stable connection here at the house so I wasn't expecting this sort of issue. In fact I no longer play on lichess on my phone due to this.

As it is, I can't play long games without giving away free points and getting my games interrupted arbitrarily. I hope this can get fixed or looked at, as I enjoy playing here.
