I feel so right now and this isn't even the First Time.
I usually have good weeks where I only do new top plays, for example this one I started playing 3 stars, and next weeks where I cannot pass decently nothing.
Has this ever happened to you? How do you go through this situation?
I usually have a long break from the game.

It's completely normal to hit plateau periods in this game, so don't worry too much about it. I've probably hit more than 10 of them in my play time, so I know how much they suck. However, just keep playing, practicing, and having fun and you'll eventually start gaining ranks or setting good scores again - whichever you prefer.

At your level, the thing that helped me the most was changing the scroll speed, since mine was always too slow for me to read properly. If that applies to you, fix it. Also skin is important, so just mess around with them for a bit.

I wish you a speedy recovery!

Definitely this, also mess around with your setup and see if you like something. I was at a plateau period for a bit a little while ago and I changed my scroll speed and experimented with different skins and it got me out of my funk. Also try playing a variety of maps, multi can be good for this.

And don't forget to challenge yourself! Don't be afraid to fail a map -- if there's one you think you can't quite handle, try it anyway.

this happens to people very often, it probably means one of the following things:

  1. you're still improving, but you've improved to the point your improvement rate no longer satisfies you.
  2. you're too focused on improving that you're no longer having fun on the game. this would halt your improvement. play stuff you enjoy instead of trying to improve straight up.
  3. you're just not in a state of improving right now. you should take short breaks sometimes if this persists for a long time
  4. your current playstyle might have been fit for your play in the past but it is no longer fit for your current level. try experimenting with other playstyles and hand positions
ive had this happen to a somewhat extreme degree, where i was not able to garner any new skill ever since around janurary, which is because i had all of those problems. i took a break, started playing stuff i enjoy more, experimented with different gameplay strategies and accepted the fact that my improvement speed now is not as good as it was in the past. im still worse than i was at my peak but i do feel like im improving again.

If you're playing constantly and you feel that, most likely you're just not improving at the rate you want, or you're getting to the point where you are aware of some flaws you already had but were oblivious to.

Yep this is completely normal. I used to blame my mech keyboard for my bad performance due to the keys getting harder to press for some reason. In reality, it was actually my fingers getting exhausted after pushing these bad boys to their limits although I wasn't tired mentally yet. From then on, I knew that was my cue to rest for a bit and I was able to press the keys normally and began setting insane scores.

This is based on my experience a few days ago until now.

It's pretty normal to feel stagnating, my friend kinda left because of that. I feel your pain. About 3 months ago I was pretty stagnated so I decided to take a month break. It kinda worked for me however it's quite easy to say that you're still improving, so don't go to that measure. Just keep going. If you feel this way for a long time then I'd suggest you take a day or two of a break
