It does move instantly when having less than 30 seconds on the clock.

Congrats :-)

Rebel on any (short) blitz level may lose on time. If you are able to keep a
game for more than 100 moves there should be a little (possible) reward.
This behavior (losing on clock) is very human alike. It's done deliberately.

You will not have that pleasure on any tournament level :-)
