Unexpected ELO climb

Hey, I’m glad that I’ve been winning more games lately, but I’m not sure why. I was stuck around 1350 for 4 months, then suddenly hit 1500 within 30 days. But it doesn’t really feel like I got better. It actually feels like my opponents are blundering more, like games I used to get at 1200.
What’s odd is that I’ve been studying way less during this time. Anyone else ever felt this? Curious if others had similar experience / insight about why or am I just improving without realizing it?
