I had a few days of lots of successful games through lichess. But since yesterday, when I try to make a move in a game, whether online, or against the AI, the board disconnects and reconnects after without accepting the move.

I got the behavior on video, but looks like the upload feature only accepts pictures.  
What might be the problem?

Are the board and the phone fully charged?  
You may try to connect with another device (another phone, a tablet) to see if the problem is in the board or the connecting device. Something near the board is perhaps scrambling the bluetooth.  
I have already experienced disconnections, but quickly revolved by moving the phone a few inches.

Thanks for the video - I will send to the app team.

I am not sure what the issue would be with this. Does it happen only after using the board for a while, or does it happen right away on fresh power up?

I think it might be low battery related. But way before the red battery light shows up.  
Today I had a few lichess games again, that started to say “invalid move”, which wasn’t true, and the app would stop working, but once I plugged the board in, I could finish the next games.  
Luckily I usually have my laptop ready, so I can finish the games there, if the board stops to respond.
