"PSA: Don't ever join a raid battle, if the Raid time is less than 3 mins - Your Raid pass could simply go for waste without even beginning the battle."

#PokemonGO: I joined the Raid battle when there were around 2 mins left. I was put in the waiting lounge for the usual 120 sec waiting time. I choose my attackers, just around 20 secs to go for the battle and the app crashed. When I restarted and clicked on the Gym, the Raid time is already finished and can no longer join the Raid - checked the items and the Raid pass is gone. This is really one of the biggest goof ups of the Raid pass usage, if you haven't even battled the pass should come back to you.Not sure if there were other trainers in the group who started battling then if it allows you to rejoin even if the Raid time itself is complete.Any how keep the time in mind before joining the Raid alone or risk just throwing away. the Raid pass via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2teCmnB
