Ive just noticed that sometimes, in games where the time control is 1/2+0, tenths of a second are randomly added. Just thought I’d let Lichess know, doesn’t rly need to be fixed, but can be annoying to lose on time after this happens 4-5 times in 1 game.
Its called lag compensation, and is intended (there are arguments for and against it, and it can be controversial, but it is not a bug).
It is because your opponents Internet isn't very good and when they move the move only goes in a few seconds so they give those seconds back (but sometimes people cheat on time like this) once an ultrabullet game was 4 minuts long
It is not the OP's opponents' internet's problem, it is the OP's...

But we both got time back, even though my wifi was good. I had 3 bars.
Your "bars" are irrelevant... Important is the quality/speed of the looooong path between your local internet access point, and tgat of the Lichess servers in Northern France.
Yes, it happens to me too, although I don't know if it's good or bad >:3
