#Issue with paused tournament.

Yesterday I played a single game in the current 2+0 marathon. I won and because my deviation is high since I don't play rated often and because the opponent was high rated I won a lot of elo and reached a record. So far so good. That game was played on a computer which is still logged to lichess.
Today a friend sends me a message and ask me what's the top 500's point, cause he played all night and wants to know.
I'm in bed so I grab my phone and check on the lichess app, as I'm clicking the arrow to get to top 500 I'm suddendly paired up as though I had clicked to continue playing from the computer, I tried to abort but couldn't and lost a lot of point and my record with that. Unpleasant. I consider it a bug. It is a different device and i never clicked on continue either from the computer or my phone I should not have been paired up. Is that normal ? How would I check the tournament from my phone without wanting to play if I wanted to do just that ?

You have to pause the tournament

#

If you’re in the game from the tournament you can click the pause button on the side which will return you to the arena, but the tournament will be paused

#

If you’re in the tournament list you can click the pause icon on the bar above the listed players

@lunar agate I'm aware but you can also do none of the above and leave the computer/device on the last game you played

#

In this case you are still in a paused state, you are not getting paired up

#

That's when I opened lichess on my phone on the app, which logged me into the same account the computer is idling on

#

From there opening the tournament made me unpause the tournament and I got paired up on my phone, which is a bit intrusive behavior

Yeah I figured that was going to be expected behavior, but I would argue that if I wanted to be paired up I could also just click rejoin on the phone,
