Sounds familiar... I also repeated my best score 14 times before finally doing one more.
The thing is, it does get harder with every problem... suddenly you need to sit down and calculate variations in problem after problem - no wonder five minutes run out quickly, or you realize that you must make your move NOW or you're never breaking that record... hence, etc.
I got 31 once but I can't get above 29 any other times

Very true.
Actually with tactics most things rely on pattern recognition and lots of repreated practice. When I spent 30 minutes a day doing normal tactics, I relatively quickly went up to 2300 in tactics. But then I stopped doing them consistently, and I stayed around the same. Also If you keep doing it and have many attempts, you'll recognize the patterns.
One example of a pattern is the common tactic that appears in puzzle rush where you have an open check with your queen that can also fork the bishop/knight on either side of the board. When I see this, my thought process goes something like this: "Queen, open diagonal, can check, ah! Forks bishop!" In about two seconds. But that's just memory. And eventually, you'll inch closer. Like a few days ago, I was at 27, but then I achieved 28, and then 29. Let's find an elusive thirty.
Anyways, I think the primary way to improve is to simply keep doing them at a consistent rate instead of doing a ton one day and doing none the next.

Pattern recognition is great in easy problems. In the harder problems, the "patterns" may point in different ways, and some "patterns" are only there to fool you. You really need to calculate and there are no shortcuts.
Breaking thirty is quite the challenge and definitely sets you apart! (But twenty-nine is also a very good performance).

Spend at least 1 hr. of tactics a day, then you will probably get 40+ in no time! Also the best thing to do is do the tactic lessons.
Same! Mine is also 34.
I saw a pretty good video for tips on this

Got it. That makes since. A consistent rate is what helps. And thanks for the other tips.
