For me I plateaued for 4 months trying to get to 1600 (which is the longest time I've ever gone without improving by 100 points)

However, more recently, I got to 2063 on 2/5/25 (its displayed on stats as 2031 but I got to 63 and tilted) and then didn't peak for another 6 months!

Just interested to see whats the most common plateau

Wow. For me was at rapid when I have had 1200 and I dropped to 590. After, I don't know, maybe a year I've finaly got back to 1200. But it's also true that I was 8 or 9 years old

I was stuck at 1700 for a long time, I also was stuck at 2100 for a long period of time but that was beacase I didnt grind much.

Rapid 1500. But I know why. Because I played too much Minecraft, and it took my brain. I quit Minecraft, and voilà, I hit rapid 1500.
