Change arena time preferences for all games at once?

I know on a per game basis, by clicking the setting button on a game on the play page, you can change settings for what time control you’re happy to match with.
I’m never okay with this, reluctant with this, etc
Is there a way to change that default for all games at once? Like I only want to match for X moves per day and nothing else in all games? Or similarly, most of the defaults are fine but turn off 4 moves per day in all games etc.

I also looked for this in the past, but never found it either. There is a suggestion about it that I found, but searching for such suggestions is hard and it doesn't have many votes:

Even searching the forums was hard because words like arena time and others are too common and some searches get rejected because of that
Then if it’s just matching with anything with the word arena it’s hard to get it to throw up something similar.
Thanks for linking the suggestion. Someone else told me to use the new per game interface when queuing because that has a slider for time control, which is convenient per game but if you want to queue for more than one slightly less so - but not by too much.

That does mean you can only reliably select one time control though - if you choose the flexible option, it basically means ANY time control (including fast turn-based settings if you're queuing for the slower ones). There's no graduated system as there is on the old lobby (where if it doesn't find anyone with your preferred time control after a certain time, it will start to include looking for other time controls you've nominated you're ok with and in order of preference - not simply ANY time control).
