All my Pokemon seem to be stuck there for days before they’re defeated and I seem to lose multiple gyms in the same day meaning I don’t get any coins for days and then when I do, I hit the cap and the other gyms are wasted.
No, I don't think there is any way to shortcut it.
I think you have to play it tactically: so some gyms get turned over often and others not so much. Usually near a bus stop etc will turn over faster. Up a less used side street far less so.
Often, I see rival teams rotting for days in the same spot, so I deliberately leave them alone. After all, they're earning no coins, and it keeps one of their defenders out of action.
On the other hand, unless they are in popular areas and would be attacked soon regardless, I actively go for gyms that have recently been taken down.
Someone has spent time and resources taking them out, so wiping them out quickly afterwards so they have little reward seems the best way to demoralise your foes.
I also go after anyone with a stupid trainer name.
But as a defender, best go with a decent mix of popular and less popular areas and do several at once. Sure, it might take a few days for some defenders to come back, but that's 50 coins for another day when it does get beaten. If you've got c.10 decent defenders, it hardly matters if a few of them are out of action for a couple of days.
