Vacation helps alot with that. I actually stopped caring about it when I realized I was turning down tournaments because they were only 1 day per move and I was afraid of getting a timeout.
673 games finished with ZERO timeouts.

I haven't any Time-Out at www.chess.com!
But the Server 'awarded' me two fake ones, that until now not corrected by Staff, even with their aknowledge about it!
I got them, when I has at least 8 and 20 hours of my Time! And it cost me one clear 1 Prize for one of the Tournament! I still waiting correction, so far...
FINISHED Games:
Total: | 5537 |

This is true, you'd have to run out of vacation. I wonder what the record for a non premium member is.
I've finished 673 games and have yet to timeout on a single game. I'm guessing it's not a record, and I'm curious as to what the record might be for chess.com.
