The amount of time for each player

In the game lichess.org/4yBzk71YEayb, my opponent and I each had 3 seconds. After we each had played the first move, the amount of time that I had for my next move started increasing. My opponent's timer was frozen while my time was going up. It stopped going up at 3 minutes and 2 seconds. I wanted to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to other players.
u were playing 0+2, meaning that your original time is 0 (3 seconds), and for every move made, 2 seconds increment is added
mh - I think his question is correct: why did black get + 3 minutes(! not seconds) by his first move?
@TastyKing said in #2:
> The game is +2 increment dummy

Why don't you try reading what OP said instead of calling people names for no reason? They said that after the first move their clock became 3 mins and 2 secs. How do you explain that, Mr smart guy?
Hey, no need to panic, I will tell you. The only possible explanation is that OP's opponent added 3 mins to the clock of OP via the + button.
