Worse average centipawn loss when playing classical.

Looking through my games i've discovered that i tend to play a lot worse in terms of average centipawn loss when playing classical than when playing Blitz. Sometimes up towards 200 even in games i end up winning. This seems counterintuitive as i would think getting more time would allow me to make on average better moves. Anyone got a good explanation for this?

Depends. Make your insights data public and I can tell you if the difference in ACL is statistically significant or not.

Average centipawn loss has a lot to do with whether you win or lose. If you have a much higher win% in blitz, it will skew favorably towards blitz.

Also look at the average rating of your opponents. It is easy to get a low AcPL against weak opponents, while stronger opponents force you to a higher AcPL.

I looked through your ~10 last classical games. You seem to be playing much faster than your opponents in a lot of the games. In a few games you even ended up with more time on the clock in the end than you had in the start.

perhaps you think too long, and as a result, you play worse moves? This has happened to me in the past.
