In Weekly Contest 296 I found that for the last problem (Design a Text Editor) my very first solution which got Time Limit during the contest was accepted after submitting the same code again. I was really struggling to figure out the problem since my code was optimal in terms of constants. Once it was accepted, I tried submitting it again and sometimes it gets accepted, sometimes time limit.

Normally, in competitive programming competitions, if the optimal solution sometimes gets Time Limit authors/organazers make sure to increase the time limit so that participants don't struggle squeezing the optimal solution by tunning constants.

In the case many people had the same issue or let's say if Leetcode redudges all the submissions and not all solutions which passed during the contest would pass again or vice verca, I think organizers should increase the time limit and rejudge all solutions.
