I’m just curious for a goal to make for myself.
I do not think rating deciders beginner. You can be a good player just starting and have a decent rating. You could be an experienced bad player with a lower rating.
Around 1000 I'd say
Yes

This.
For your question, if you were to say what a "beginner" ceiling lies for the average person who is not equally as intuitive, it would lie around ~1000-1200.
1300, guess I have been a beginner for over 15 years.
Top 10 percent in rating to boot.

USCF considers everyone U1200 an amateur.
I am going to translate that to ~1400 chess.com.
The question is beginner, not recreational player
I would say no longer a beginner when opponents have to use tactics to win material off of you instead of just taking hanging pieces so it's possible to be a beginner and an intermediate at the same time when you play different time controls.
