Other accounts can't see puzzle ratings over 2700 or more

At the end, can I still do puzzles and play games

Yep, that is consistent with the 2200-2300 you had on Lichess before your meteoric rise. On chess.com puzzle ratings are distributed with a wider range than here, so easy ones are rated lower and difficult ones are rated higher. My own puzzle rating on chess.com is also 500 points higher than on Lichess.

Solving harder and hardest puzzles gives you many rating points, the difficulty is not to fail the vast majority of them. I had a look at your profile, and it seems you turned on hard/hardest mode on May 13 where you went from 2312 to 2412 with 21 wins and 37 losses. This is certainly a respectable result.

However on the next day you gained over 700 points with 38 wins and 13 losses, and that looks really suspicious. Having tackled a few hundred 2800+ puzzles on Lichess myself, I know that every one of these exercises is a challenge, and quite often I am completely at a loss for several minutes before I can even figure out what is going on. Calculating the right moves is difficult, and guessing usually gives you far less than a 50% success chance because there are often several plausible alternatives, or the real problem is to find a hidden resource for your opponent that needs to be warded off.

In conclusion, your May 14 results look highly implausible, and you will have to accept that both the forum software and users treat them as such, whether you actually cheated or not.

Honestly? At the higher levels of chess.com puzzles it's generally easier than Lichess puzzles.

I'd expect a 3000+ puzzle rating to also be a 3000+ puzzle rating on chess.com.

Increasing rating on Lichess is not easy - if you mess up, it's done for.

I'm not saying that you can't get 3000+ in puzzles. But if you want it to show, you have to get your rating to match.

I think that's pretty tough to do (as my own experience has seemed to show).

so, what should I do, Sandbag my puzzle rating or increase my classical rating.
Also, my peak puzzle rating on chess.com is 3067, but recently my rating decreased by 100 points so It is 2700-2800 currently

On 14 May, I did only 10-12 Hardest then did all puzzles as normal

Or just learn to live with your puzzle rating not being shown to others.

One last question: Am I still allowed to play games and do puzzles or I have to forcefully delete my ID
