Why do raids end before timer is up?

Yesterday I tried to solo an Arcanine because no one showed up.

My team was:
Rhydon Lv 32 MS/SE 80%iv
Rhydon Lv 31 MS/Eq 91%
Rhydon Lv 31 MS/SE 87%
Golem Lv 31 MS/RB 78%
Golem Lv 31 MS/RB 71%
Golem Lv 21 MS/SE 89%

(Sub: Rhydon Lv 30 C/SE 91%)

Every time the raid would end with me having a full energy bar trying to get off the final kill shot, but the raid would start the shutdown sequence. After every raid I shuffled the order trying to get that last shot timed just right. The first time, the counter was actually at 0, but second, third and fourth time it shut down with 3-4 seconds left, and the fifth time it started with 5+ seconds left.

A) WTF?
B) has this happened to anyone else?

I had the same experience trying to solo Flareon, but don't think I was as close to winning - still, with a few seconds on the clock it's like they start packing up to go... I understand this was a similar problem with Blissey timing out with a bit of time on the clock too so maybe it's a systemic thing?

I've always had it timeout with 4-7 seconds left, including in regular battles.
I thought that was standard...

This is because of gym lags when the battle just started.

Systemic LAG throughout Niantic servers.

I think the servers are crowded. But keep in mind the features are new and so it will be buggy. I'd say wait until the next update for minor text fixes and stuff before we see improvement in game play
