An opponent of mine uses the vacation feature in an unusual way, and I would like to know the opinion of chess players on whether this would constitute a lack of fair play.

My opponent is in an inferior position, and after the 3-day time limit expires, he triggers vacation. Then when he wants to play the other games, he takes a vacation, executes the other moves from the other games and quickly puts the vacation back on, not playing the game with me and, I believe, with other opponents who must be in a bad position. Wouldn't that be a distortion of the vacation? Wouldn't it be the case for chess.com to rethink the use and frequency with which this resource can be used? Only on one day did my opponent activate and deactivate the vacation in three situations to execute moves from other games, without executing the moves from the games in which time was running out. The worst part is that when you deactivate vacations you still get about 2 hours, unless I'm mistaken. And so it continues indefinitely. I believe it is a valid suggestion for chess.com to think about improving the correct use of this resource.
