Legendary Raid Glitch question

This is a topic beaten to death but I was raiding Articuno and quit to heal and jump back in while 5 others were still fighting. But when I rejoined, it glitched and said that all my pokemon fainted when I had 6 different ones. So i didn't get any of the rewards or a chance to catch it. Everyone i talked to says that you should be able to jump back in without any problems.
Has anyone else tried to leave, not necessarily quit, and jump back in?

If the raid clock has expired, you can't get back in. Otherwise it may work, but I'd never say "without any problems". The whole raid process is pretty glitchy, almost anything can happen. Especially if your signal strength is weak.

Last raid my app froze while I was in the lobby. I restarted and re-entered the battle as it was ending, still got a chance to toss balls and watch Lugia flee. I also got a TM and 13K XP, so much better than nothing at all.

The raid clock hadn't expired. It still had about 100 to go. That was our strategy to have a rotation of fighting and healing.

today during a raid me and another guy when fighting lugia its health bar stayed the same. When the others koed it we reset out games and went back to the gym and we were able to still catch it but I havent tried leaving during the raid.

It would say the articuno had full health and then not, then spinning while ball of lag, and then that evil red error bar.

I tried to rejoin the battle with 6 new pokemon, it was the same time as it was defeated, error out, no chance to catch...

Another instance was a Lugia. It errored me after it was defeated. But i restarted the app several times, clicked on the gym, and it put me to the screen letting me catch it. But not the articuno.

You can't come back if the raid is over either by time or KO, so you need to time you team change to avoid this situation, even if you have to "quit" while some Pokémon are still good to go.
