Unfair losses

So in my most recent game, and a game a while back, Lichess was down (when I reloaded the robot with the girl picture showed up)

When this first happened, I assumed that games would be drawn do I just left Lichess for the day and came back to a loss. I thought "Fair enough, maybe the games were continued from where they left off and I timed out" and thought nothing of it.

However, in my most recent game, I kept reloading the site until it no longer displayed the Lichess is down message in order not to repeat my mistake from last time. But when it loaded again I noticed that while my opponents time was still at 6-7 minutes, mine had dropped to 2 minutes. I had to work hard and since I was rushed for time the won position turned into a draw. The drawn position turned into a loss due to time out.
