Surrender vs Continue in human game

At the end of the day, it’s a bit of a judgment call to distinguish between time wasting vs reasonably playing on. But, in clear cases of time wasting, it should be pretty straightforward for the moderators to help end the game.

I think this warrants a bit of elaboration.

Your opponent’s play will only be deemed “timewasting” if the territories are sealed and they are still continuing to play.

Even if it is apparent to you that there is no way your opponent can secure a winning score, they are entitled to play the end-game up to the point that the game can be scored. This means 'the territories are sealed".

Is there a Polite way to say that game is already decided?

It has come up before, and I think the concensus is that you pass when you think the game can be scored you politely keep playing up to that point if your opponent continues play after you pass, and clearly does not have a plan to improve their score, you report it There is no polite way to say “I think you should resign now”.
