What is the shortest recorded match in Apex Legends?

The shortest recorded match in Apex Legends occurred due to a server error rather than an actual gameplay event. In these rare instances, the game might end abruptly just after all the teams have launched onto the map if the server fails, thus ending the session in a few seconds. These are not considered legitimate matches, but rather technical anomalies. Outside of such errors, extremely short matches can occur when one team quickly eliminates all others, but these would still typically last several minutes given the time needed for players to land, find each other, and engage in combat.
