Why you lost the game by time when your next move will checkmate your opponent? Can we fix it?"
44...Rb1 45 Kh2 Qh1# would have mated in time.
After 45 Kxf3 you would have lost on time.
45...Qxf2+ would at least have secured a draw.

Lichess is supposed to fix YOUR mistakes?
Don't be naive.
Losing on time is just as legitimate as loosing by checkmate. If when you run out of time there is a legal sequence of moves that could result in getting checkmated even if you are the one who can checkmate next move you loose.
Sarg0n: Alright, so do you think this position should be a loss if white runs out of time? ;)

According to FIDE it's draw when the opponent has no legal sequence to checkmate. So White runs out of time = draw.
@Illion This is a draw, as there is no legal series of moves where black mates white.
