sucks to be you right now

only thing you can do is wait out the penalty. Happens when some things are out of our control.

That’s a reason why the initial penalty is so short (only 5 minutes). thank the people that abused disconnecting for the penalties to exist at all.

5 mins? I could have sworn it was shorter. Ive had the same scenario happen to me and i thought it was only 1 min. I could be wrong. Either way i watched a short youtube vid while i waited.

By the time you load back in, there's probably only a couple minutes remaining.

Now, be careful and don't let this happen to you three days in a row or you could be looking at 24 hours.
