There is another site which does have though.

Classical is still better tho

Isn’t 60 min basically classical?

It is, but CC sees everything as "rapid" and it affects the rapid rating

True. Maybe 30+ min becomes classical? Hot take?

Anything over 30 min with over xyz increment that goes down, at 1h 0 increment is needed to make it classical, meanwhile at 30min you need 30s of increment, at 40min 20s and at 50 min 10s

Yeah it would, but thats actually classical, 30/0 is in my opinion still slow rapid

Classical players will take 10+ minutes a move at critical junctures in the game, assuming they have it. 30s increment helps but classical players certainly can get in time trouble at 30/30.

In many big tournaments I've played in, 2 hours for 40 moves, and 1 hour added after is normal classical. 60 minutes is much shorter in comparison.

Rapid is more slow and precise, blitz is more fast and(in my opinion) takes more skill then rapid cause you have to learn fast, and make your moves fast. You have to be very precise for it.
