The time out ratio is a percentage of the games you've played, compared with those you've let run out of time.
This appears on the bottom of your stats, on your online games page and can only be lowered by playing more online games and not letting them run out of time.
You have played 11 games, 45% of which (i.e. 5 out of 11) have timed out.
How to solve it?
You need to play another 39 games without timing out once to get to 10%, or let 90 days pass....
Thank you all for your help. I truly appreciate it.

Or some combination of the two. It may also not be a full 90 days, depending on when the bulk of your timeouts were.
It looks like one of your five timeouts was on July 31st, and the remaining four on August 2nd, so you're looking at a two month wait as opposed to three. If this is too long for you, you can play and complete 39 more games without timing out as rooperi suggested.

I was thinking about that. Thank you for the clarification.
I suppose these timeouts happened BEFORE you became a premium member? (Otherwise the Auto-Timeout Protection (i.e. switch on vacation) would have cut in.)

I think this is this the case. Now that I have become interested in the chess "world", I wanted to regularize the issue. Thanks for your post.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to register in a tournament. Unfortunately I got this message:
You must have a timeout ratio lower than 10% to play in this tournament.
Please advise what does it mean and how can I solve it.
Thank you all,
