It was a "technical issue". The aircraft diverted to Tegel and continued to Moscow 90 minutes later.

Not really, if the crew identified a pressurisation problem and were able to descend to 10k feet prior to the cabin altitude reaching 14k feet the rubber jungle wouldn’t drop. Assuming the fault is a quick fix they would be on their way very quickly. Not all depressurisation events are quick ones.
It happened to me a few months back although lower down, the outflow valve motored fully open during the descent at 18k feet. A sharpish acceleration combined with full speed brake meant the cabin altitude peaked below rubber jungle deployment and we regained manual control once level. CPC1 was locked out in the turnaround and we departed on schedule.
