They changed 10 minute from blitz to rapid a month or so ago.

Your games list shows your rating adjusting after each game of 10 minute chess, it's in the 300's. This is your rapid rating. 649 is your blitz rating which applies to faster time controls, 5 or 3 minutes I think.

I don’t know what that means haha

You get a different rating for different time controls. 

Deranged

You have 3 different ratings:

1. Bullet rating

2. Blitz rating

3. Rapid rating

If you play a rapid game (10 mins or longer), then only your rapid rating will change. Your bullet and blitz rating will stay the same.

Ok got it, so the rating which is next to your name is the rating for blitz

If you're playing on one of the apps, you will likely need to update to get 10|0 games to show as rapid.
