Player not playing in No Time Limit game

In one of my turn-based game there's a player who hasn't done any moves in the whole game. the table is more than a month old and it's no time limit game. What should i do? The player has been online almost every day but they don't respond to any of them messages at the table nor in our private messages. I can't report the player but at the same time I don't want a penalty for leaving. Should I just leave the table? There's also another player who hasn't been online since the table started and I suppose they won't be online in a long time. They however have done their first move so I wouldn't worry about that player ... yet.

I believe tables are automatically erased after 40 days without a move by any player.

Isn't there a warning to only play no time limit games with people you know, or does that warning only appear for the person who creates the table?

Personally speaking, because I'm kind of in the same boat..
As a Newbie, I started 3 turn based games. Because I'd never played them before I wanted to play them as 'tutorials' but I didn't realise I was going to be pitted against real opponents. D'oh!
Several of my games have ground to a halt - and not because of me 😞. The main problem I've got is that I can't start anymore games as I think I'm maxed out at 3. Had I known better, I would've dived straight into proper turn based games rather than tutorial mode (no time limit) 🤷‍♂️

On the flip side, I'm loving live play, (once I became brave enough to dive in) and I hope I'm proving to be a reliable and conscientious opponent. I might have to take a hit on my 'tutorial' games just so I can restart them with the regular 'imposed' time retraints on turn based games 🤔

Edit - In fairness, only one of the three games is a tutorial game, so it might be that I'm just being too impatient? Nothing against my opponents of course, but only being allowed 3 games on the go at once 'until' I complete one is painful 😞.
