So? What has the speed of the game got to do with this? There is a buzz to playing these games or you would not be playing them. You have got yourself in a situation where you are feeling out of control of the number of games you are playing.  If it were not an issue then you would not be here talking about it.  While you are in the middle of an issue it is very hard to see the bigger picture.

Is spending time away from chess.com such a scary thought? You are fighting against any suggestion that you could simply not play for a few days to let your mind clear, I am simply asking you to think what that says about your relationship with this.

You don't get it, I am not having trouble playing chess and in fact I could take a break but I am talking about the daily games that are in the queue

That's why I recommend, playing 14 days daily games. And also when you're unable to visit chess.com for your daily life you can turn on vacation, From your daily games settings.

Unfortunately, I've finished my vacation, actually after my exams, I forgot to "off" the vacation mode, thats why Note it that "YOU HAVE LIMITED VACATION, USE IT WISELY!! "

I know but turning on vacation time will empile the games even more

I've heard it before "You don't get it I am not having trouble gambling and in fact I could take a break but I am taking about the hot tip for this afternoon"

You want a new start then resign.  That is what the other commentators here keep saying. Prove you can walk away for a few days and then come back with a plan for how many games you can say yes too. Problem solved, no bailiffs will reposes your property , your family will not starve, a couple of numbers on a computer screen may go down, so?

How do you Turn off the Vacation Mode?

True, that;s my resolution for 2021, but I wanna get rid of my own games without cheaply resiging first

To answer the question- never ever let your time expire. Resign the game 1st. Timing out is the equivalent of quitting = poor sportsmanship and shows a lack of respect to your opponents.

By resigning you’ll lose points. The problem might be the perception of sandbagging. Suggest contacting staff and making your appeal in advance explaining you can no longer reasonably put forth the time required. This might require all games to be resigned. If you want to continue playing in a tournament or two - I think the best way is to contact the appropriate staff member for a good solution. This may take some time. Don’t take the word of just anyone making a guess but rather a qualified and knowledgeable staff member.
It is / was your error in judgement. Live and learn/ think twice.

The best solution is to continue playing ... of course.

“without cheaply resigning”. ??? What on earth can this mean? The games are to stop as if never happened? What of your opponents. You are thinking solely of yourself.

You can consider offering a draw if the game is equal. Resign games where losing. Finish games where winning to avoid any issues.

True I will try to take action... the thing is I try not to timeout but sometimes I just forget to clear my daily games

Well, I handled 60 at once, but only timed out in one. You may want to choose vacation for a while. 

Don't wanna make my opponents wait that long and there are some tournaments where bacation time is not alowed
