Warning clock From 4sec to 9 seconds - Bullet

I don't know if this is a new thing or not but my clock when running down gives me a warning. It used to be when you were 4s to run out of time now is 9seconds.

Thoughts?

I personally hate this I don't want to rush my game with 10 full seconds to play. I simply hate it. Is there a way I can change this setting back to 4 seconds??

Really really bad call Lichess.

Not to mention my clock doesn't count down anymore. it get stuck most of the times. So many glitches and bugs..
Warning clock to 10 seconds is new, i don't like it. The warning makeme lose, I want deactivated because make me blunder. 5 seconds warning was better.
I think the time at which the "time remaining warning" goes off should be some function of the initial time. Obviously it doesn't make a lot of sense to have it at 10 seconds for a 30 second game, but this is too low for something like a 60 minute classical game. Perhaps a good way to do it would be something like "Time_Warning_Goes_Off_At_This_Many_Seconds_Remaining = 5 + Initial_Number_Of_Minutes/30" With a cap at 30 seconds. Obviously this formula might need some tweaking, or it might just be better to have 3 different time warning times for bullet, blitz and classical.
