Yes. You made use of abort too often. It is only supposed to be used rarely, because you started a game by mistake or for unexpected life situations.

The option will come back after a number of games.
Yeah same thing happend to me, any idea how many games?
It's based on a percentage of recently completed games. Aborts should be rarely used.

Idk man just stop aborting
how long does it take for abort to come back
You must lower your abort percentage by playing more games without aborting
It's annoying when you get paired with a low rated player and abort it to not lose more points,
and get paired with low rated players over and over again until you can't abort any more
you can set the min rating to -25, but if the opponent is 22 - 24 points below you, you still lose more elo and gain less
you can set the min rating to -25, but if the opponent is 22 - 24 points below you, you still lose more elo and gain less
That rating difference, if the RD values are low, isn't going to cause a very large rating change.

still +7, -1, -9
Ratings are not rewards or currency, the purpose is to be able to pair you against opponents where each of you has a reasonable chance to win. Trying to game the system by only playing people where you can gain more than you can lose will just inflate your rating until you start getting paired against people you have far less chance of winning against.
Ideally, you should win and lose about the same number of games, with a bunch of draws making up the difference. But that only happens if you play all the people you get paired with.
So frequently aborting corrupts the rating system and affects everyone. That's why you're denied aborting.
As you continue to improve, that 50/50 point slowly increases over time, but you need to ignore the day to day ups and downs.
How about auto win if the opponent doesn't respond to the opening move within 10 seconds in any game under an hour long clock.
Wouldn't this feature really promote/force sandbagging? Because if you can't abort, you either resign, draw, or play the game. If you can't play, you likely have to resign, causing your rating to go down and you to play lower-rated players, which makes it more likely for them to lose. If the abort button doesn't appear for a while and you are forced to resign for whatever reason, the other players will think you are forcefully sandbagging and report you. So this feature COULD cause people to get banned due to chess.com rules. Also, this could hide other sandbaggers and let them get away.
So you only want to play people with higher ratings than you? What if they also only want to play with people with higher ratings than them? If everyone is willing only to play with people who have higher ratings, no one is going to be able to play with anyone!
Look on the bright side, now you've got a nice "resign" button, you can use it, and soon you'll have a rating lower than the guy/gal you got paired up with...
I have this issue solved. Please do not comment anymore.
