If you abort too many games, as a percentage of games completed without abort or abandon timeouts, then you lose the ability and must play or resign instead. It has been that way for years.

Prior to last night, you could abort one or two games. Now it's you entire a game & play the game or lose points. Kinda sucks.
Why & when did this happen?
