As you all know, there is very distinct categorization for fast time controls, namely Blitz, Bullet and Ultrabullet, whereas for longer time controls there is Rapid (Starting from 8+0 to 15+14) and Classical (Starting from 15+15 to 180+180, which is the maximum).
I want to suggest to cut the 15+15 to 180+180 range into two pieces. I would argue that 15+15 is vastly different than 90+30, for instance, which is the time control used in the Series tournament, as well as 45+45, which is commonly played in Lichess4545-League. Meanwhile 45+45 and 90+30, for instance, feel more like tournament style chess games.
The slow chess community in Lichess feels like it is growing by the day, and I think it would be awesome to give them the possibility to distinguish themselves from rapid-style chess, which 15+15 definitely belongs to.
My suggestion, therefore, would be to introduce a new time control type, one idea would be to simply call is "Slow", and let it start from 30+30, which is the time control played in Lichess Lonewolf (see https://www.lichess4545.com/lonewolf/).
That way, we would have three categories for fast chess and three categories for slow chess.
Thank you for your time!
