His losses are by move timeouts.

Happens from time to time. Presumably when a strong player just gets too busy or ill or dead or broken-computered to play, so they get timed out all over the place and their rating plummets. Sometimes they then recover (though presumably not in all of the above-mentioned scenarios) and resume their previous playing strength, which is a shame for their new opponents if they care about their rating because they're gonna get hammered by someone rated 850 even though they're maybe 1500 themselves but, you know, it's only a game.

There was a player at QueenAlice with rating around 1900 and over 1000 (!) games in progress. Then he disappeared for few months, lost almost all games on timeouts and his rating droppred below 20. Now he is back to 1800 and with hundreds of games again🙄

Below 20!? You must mean 200.

Edit: Doesn't nearly everyone on that site have a 2000+ rating? I've heard it's one of the worst with respect to rating inflation.

Hard to believe but his rating was below 10, I think it was even at 0 or 1 at some point.
However when I check his rating history now it never goes below 400. That's strange because I saw that 1-digit rating with my own eyes... May be his case forced admins to change rating calculations😳

I agree with you that ratings there are higher: I have 1656 at QA while only 1466 here.
