Often times, I dont have time to deal with some ultra stall team or just only have a short amount of time. Im sure others have this issue. It would be nice if there was a way to play battles where you dont gain time every time you select an action, so you know that the game wont last long.

Rejected Timed Battles

Stall is a legitimate playstyle and there won't be enforced action on it from PS as a whole. There exists a format called random battle blitz which has a 10 second timer. You are able to directly challenge users if you add the gamerule blitz to any other format. >> https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/view-battlerules
Additionally, this suggestion doesn't inherently fix your proposed problem. People running stall can make matches last a very long time, timer or not. This would also indirectly give certain playstyles a potential unfair advantage as not being able to gain time means you risk taking the time to run calcs, etc.
