Losing is the perfect opportunity to learn something new. https://youtu.be/JgQFSgzAyIE?si=e7ZeXFamqwP3mOdG

this has happened to me, and I think honestly, its the mentality of trying to get past the plateau that hurts your play. ignore the rating and just play your best and you will pass the plateau
Just don’t lose
I think your view on progress is a little twisted, not hitting a new peak daily or weekly doesn’t necessarily mean that you are plateauing
For advice just keep doing the basics, puzzles, playing, analysis, some openings etc

So, I recently reached 2k, and then reached a peak of 2022. But, the next day, I dropped to 2007, after playing like 20 or so rapid games. I took a break for a week, came back today, and proceeded to play like 20 or so rapid games again, just to lose 3 elo. Why? Why can't I just win my first game? I think I'm plateauing now, so anyone please help and give me advice
You probably should play too many games. 3 a day is probably enough, combined with puzzles, endgame training etc

you can't expect to progress this quickly, it took me 6 months to get from 2k to 2100 and 2 months to get to 2200

ChanMan4, just because you didn't hit 2100 2 weeks after 2000 doesn't mean you are plateauing. I could say, you are improving too fast.

It sounds like a minor form of "ladder anxiety." It's when you play differently because you are afraid of losing rating.
You should play chess when you are in the mood and generally good form and you should avoid playing chess when not in the mood or in generally out of form.
There's nothing wrong with winning a game and stopping if you feel like it, but you're also limiting your potential for gaining more rating because of your not wanting to lose rating. I think of it as milestones and that once I reach a new high rating, then that best rating can never be un-done. I may temporarily lose rating, but I can only ever get a new all-time best rating. There's only upside.
