Most likely, the commit has already finished within that time frame.

Now it is your local computer that went down? Before, it was the server that went down. In this case, it is almost certain that your transaction has been committed. Oracle usually blocks and/or throws an error immediately if it is going to, rather than delaying an error until commit time. So if your commit get dispatch before you computer died, it is unlikely that that commit didn't get executed. What are the chances that two people tripped over two power cords at the same time? But to be sure you have to figure out if it committed or not by querying the database.
