TEN?! what was your rating during the 3-6 hours? (I mean uscf)
I made it from expert to master relatively quickly, and wasn't active at tournaments before or after.
*edit* I misunderstood your question. When I was 16, my online blitz was around 2200-2250 and my USCF was around 1700-1950.

around two hours a day? or more? that's how long I study and play for normally
Maybe when I was 13. By the time I was 16, it was more like 3-6, and by the time I was 18-19, more like ten. That's around when I earned NM. I continued to study actively until around 19.5, and for some years after wasn't as active. Getting back into study now
You know what, that seems death to me. Yes, because HOW DID YOU EVEN EARN 2200 AT THE AGE OF 16??? My rating has been dancing like 800, 700, 850, 900, 950, 870, 840, 790, 750, 720, 690, 750, 800 and you know where the pattern is going. So how do I get myself out of this "rating trap"?

Well, what to improve looking at my games? Tactics? Blunder Check? Brilliant Moves? Endgames? Opening? Puzzle? Game Review? Lessons? Practice Play? Time Control? IDK...

The game review quickly offers candidate moves that you didn't necessarily consider as well as tactical feedback to get faster at the tactical pattern recognition. If you have studied a lot, you can recognize motifs as suggested by the computer even without it explained to you, and this helps you learn as you go and get faster, even as you were unable to find the move in your game. Jacob Aagaard said chess is easy to understand and hard to play, so you can quickly get a sense of the improvements after, if you put the work in already to study the concepts. If you find this difficult, it might be easier to go through the games with a player who will explain to you as well as possibly show similar games with typical themes based on what seems relevant. I do this during lessons.

by only playing games that take days to play? and rarely play the faster ones where new tactics win?

How to get to 2000? Is IM Jeremy Silman: Amateur's Mind a good book?
Generally, it takes years to get to expert, with a lot of practice. Tactics are foundational.
I've heard reasonable things about Silman's book, especially for club player adults.
