Average % of games won by timeout?

I have now played 23 online games and won 9 by timeout. I was only winning in 1 of these timeouts and hence was drawing/losing in the other 8. Is this the kind of % timeout wins I can expect in online chess? If so, would it not be better if chess.com implemented a second rating that doesnt include all timeouts where a computer evaluates the position as <1 to the winning player.

The higher you get the less it happens. Against people im playing at 1400-2100, it seems to only happen maybe once every 30 games or so.

That's an incredible number. I've played 35+ games and not one single timeout.

Had an opponent once almost timeout. I sent him a message and he made his move. Now I am about to lose the game against him.
