export games from archive
You can export one page of games at a time from your archive to a PGN. It recently (today I think) chaged to that method; you used to be able to load multiple pages at a time and download more that way.
It is pretty easy.
Go to your archive, Play > Archive. Change the filter to Daily or Live. You can also do additional filters if you want.
Select the games you want. If you want all on the page, click the check box in the header. For Live games, if you want to include timestamps, check the box next to the clock icon. Finally, click the download icon.
I wouldn't recommend exporting the whole thing at the same time. The tarriff for exports increases with the quantity that you are exporting. So I would suggest making multiple exports with small amounts at a time, rather than exporting the whole thing at once.
On the app, it is different. You can only get one game at a time through the menu on the game screen. Choose Share PGN
OK, I am in a windows 10 environment. How do I download all the games in my archive? I can only do 50 at a time. How do I get back to the older games? I am stuck on most recent page of 50.
This is sad! I can only look at my games that are within 100 pages in the Archive can someone please help me to figure out how to save my games pls?

You can change the filters and filter by date if you run into a pagination issue
Yeah, there is some weird limitation that causes issues for pagination after 100 pages. I hope we resolve it at some point.
https://chessinsights.xyz it will let you export all your games in your archive, no 100 page limit
