Wait what happened to 'leavers' grace period?

As in, i was playing Gates of Grethor, nearly finished it, then low and behold, got DCed. Strange i know. So as soon as i can i log back in, ~10 seconds, the game sort of puts me back into the map, then starts a countdown saying i'm not in the team anymore, leaving map. 3,2,1 and i'm kicked.

I thought there was a grace period that if you were DCed or internet went out or something like that, but made it back into the game before the map finished, you would rejoin.
Is this not a thing any more?

    It seems to randomly work. Sometimes I get back in sometimes I get booted out too. Would like to know how this is supposed to work too.

    Yeay OP that annoyance happens to me and others as well as of late. No clue why after a DC one can’t remain on map.

    Two of my fleet members were gone that way from an ISA run yesterday. Much fun for all involved because the game does not send replacements in such a case. If some DCed tries to get back on map by browsing the active games they also get an error message saying they would still be part of if. :|

    It really seems rather random, I also experienced both cases.

    If you get the reward, who cares?

    Because you don't get the rewards if the game kicks you out upon return.

    In the rare event that I've dc'd during an STF (about 5 times in 5 years), I've always been loaded back into the STF, including one last week. It does look like the 'grace period' still is working', but it could be a specific STF that may need looking at, if the coding is different, if you get what I mean.
