There is only one that meets both requirements:
It's our good friend @german11
Nobody is as diligent as him. No man on this planet has ever played more chess games than he has. Phenomenal!

german11 has played for 1006 days 17 hours and 33 minutes
@Lance5500 has played for 1104 days, he has @german11 beat.
This appears to be weird, German has such a big lead in terms of games played (600k vs. 139k), and most of lance's games seem to be unranked in any case (only c. 1/3 of games are ranked).
Not sure if this can be explained by lance just playing a massive number of unranked classical and rapid games, or if there is something weird here. Lance does some simuls, I have the small suspiction that lichess might count simultaneous games twice for played count (e.g. 10x simul games taking an average of 5min count as 50min of game time instead of 5).
I'm too lazy to investigate this further, anyone care to look at it?
