Assuming a game of 60 moves: 45|45 is 2*(45+45) = 180 minutes = 3 hours
60|0 is 2*60 = 120 minutes = 2 hours
Try 30|30 instead: it is better than 60|0

Why is 30/30 better?

2* (30+30) = 120 = 2hrs

45/45 games don't have a finite duration. If players moves consistently within 45 seconds, they lose no time on their clock at all. I'd rather not get into a situation like that.

Longer time controls could work as pre agreed. It is hard to expect that someone logged in could just like that accept multi-hours game.
