Officiating at the End of Game

I edited my post, so you may not have seen it, but the portion I quoted is on page 45 of that document, in the Accepted Rulings section, in the 2021 rules, it was A.R. 8.89.

Yep, I see that, but, that's not exactly the same situation that occured in this game is it? He wasn't spiking to "consume 1 second", he was spiking, incorrectly, to stop a clock that had much more time on it than 6 seconds. And they didn't run off 10 seconds of the clock either, like that rule says should be done. All they did was take away a down and move us back 10 yards. So, is it a rule that only works when and how they want it to? or is it a legitmate rule?
