The measure I noted only works if you do it before completing the game and getting the error message. Hence why I noted it isn't particularly helpful if the internet loss is unexpected. However, that message will only pop up if the game actually tries to connect tot he internet, which does not occur mid game, only when loading the map and reporting the results. Thus if you avoid finishing the map, you can wait near indefinitely for the internet issue to be resolved, after which you can complete it and get the rewards.

However, this requires knowing (or suspecting) your internet went down while you were playing, and since you're in the midst of playing, and that doesn't require the internet to work, you are unlikely to notice it stopped mid map. If you do notice it though, it can be helpful.
