What exactly triggers overtime in Rainmaker?

Just as the title says - while Splatzones, Clam Blitz, and Tower Control are pretty obvious to me, the case isn't as clear with Rainmaker.

I know that if the bubble is burst at the last second and no one manages to grab the Rainmaker in time, the overtime will not trigger.

What I'm asking about is what decides if the overtime starts or not if the bubble wasn't burst yet. I feel like it's completely random.

At first, I thought that the ink the bubble is in at the last second decides it (leading team's ink - no overtime, losing team's ink - overtime), but I've had many matches where the bubble was burst by the leading team and overtime started anyway.

Then I thought maybe it's the number of players in close proximity to the Rainmaker (like, if there are 2 leading team players and 3 losing team players nearby, overtime will trigger, and vice-versa), but that also turns out not to be the case because I triggered overtime a few times when there was definitely less players on my side than the leading team's side.

So, what exactly triggers overtime if the Rainmaker bubble wasn't burst in the last second?
