So I can't farm more cards

Not until you have more available. Idle Master will start to work again if you have more available to claim.

Looking at your profile, it looks like you don't have any non-free games. As has been said in practically 1/4 threads, free to play games only drop 1 card per $5 USD in microtransactions you pay. Alternatively, purchase games or get free games from giveaway events to get cards from those games.

Idlemaster does not create cards. it just checks what cards you have available from Steam.

It still is the case that running multiple in parallel will slow the drops. Its no longer the case that it's delayed to the point of making running several at once a moot point, but it does add enough to it that it's often not worth the trouble.

That means the first batch were finished. The program stops idling games with 0 drops remaining. It's meant to ensure that 1) You don't end up with hours and hours of idle time and 2) That you get your next drops faster (Back when Idle Master was in development there were a LOT of rumours as to how idling worked. One of them was that more games idling = more time per card drop. I actually have no idea if that was true, but the program was designed to comply with it anyway)

sure the ~30 games that were finished were removed from idling but what about the rest that just went missing, i mean i had like 400 card drops remaining, i got 100 then after the games went missing now i have 60 drops remaining. Half of my games got missing. And they aren't showing up in the Badges page either.

That is very strange. Did the games get refunded perhaps? Or, and this is a bit of an outlier, were they bought via resale websites? The latter sometimes includes games which were purchased with stolen credit cards and such game codes being revoked when the credit card is reported stolen often affects people who bought the codes unaware of their "dirty" status.

To check the latter, see if any of the games are missing from your library proper.

recently i bought like 90+ games on sale, i idled them a couple of times but didnt get all the cards dropped, around 30 of games got all cards dropped then i exited idle master, next time i started it only showed like 18 games that have cards drop remaining.

None. As soon as they go free to play, they drop 1 card for every $5 of microtransactions.

The full story helps understand.

People a while back would play the game for less than 2 hours and get as much as they could before the refund window was over and would then refund the game for free cards.

Steam put in a system to stop this. If you refund a game EVER, you get a 3 hour "Dead space" where you get nothing. After 3 hours the drops happen like normal (And if you'd not refunded a game, your drop time would always be 3 hours fewer.)

None. Such cards would be worth nothing if such a system DID exist after all.

Which game are you running? Any free-to-play game will NEVER drop cards (unless you pay $10 USD in microtransactions, in which case it'll give you ONE card per $10). Additionally any bought game has a hard limit of cards, giving you 50% of 1 of its badges, after which you're eligible for booster packs (which appear at random and appear roughly once every two years, yes I am serious) but can never get a card drop from that game again.

From your profile you only own 5 games, so i suspect the case to be no eligible games, but I'll wait on your response.

2 hours to drop the first if you've ever refunded a game on steam.
If not, about 15 minutes, although the drops will only drop when you close the game in question.
