Potential bots in 6 Nimmt! Always go into negative time, then play at the last second. Make the game excruciatingly long

Since early 2026 I've had several instances where players delayed the game as much as possible. They would wait until they got into negative time, and someone tries to expel them. At 18 seconds, just before they are about to be expelled, they suddenly play. With the next card, they do the same thing. If they have to start a row, then after someone has already tried to expel them, they do the same thing again. They wait until they're in negative time, when someone tries to expel, at 18 seconds they suddenly choose a row.
The only exception is that sometimes, after they have been almost expelled several times, they choose a card immediately. [Presumably due to the dynamic clock?]
But then they start delaying again, going into negative time, almost getting expelled, playing at the 18th second... and on... and on... and on... ad nauseam.
The pattern is always the same, from different players, so I assume they're bots. I also cannot imagine a human sitting there and doing this - it's incredibly tedious. Plus I don't think a human would manage to always suddenly play at the 18th second. It all seems very programmed.
They also never respond to any messages in the chat, and when someone suggests to voluntarily abandon the game, they do not answer.
Obviously this is super frustrating for all other players. The game takes forever, and it removes all fun from the game. The first time this happened, we finished the game and I think it took about 50 minutes. In most other games, someone sacrificed themselves by quitting or purposely getting expelled.
Has anyone else experienced this? It've seen it happen 4-5 times now.
I really wish there was an option to properly report this, and I also think that players shouldn't be able to endlessly go into negative time. I think you should be able to go into negative time e.g. 5 or 10 times per game, and then you get automatically expelled.
