Ok, I actually hit a wall

I've been progressing smoothly until around rank 13k. It's not just pp or rank but I can't even set records on old maps anymore. I can't really pinpoint the problem.

I have been playing less and less, but I'd expect at least some progress. (This has been going for a month now.) I also feel like my hands/fingers aren't fast enough to hit those chordjacks or streams. I practice a lot of different maps for jumpstreams, streams, chordjacks, speed, etc. I let 30 days go by, because I thought, "Maybe I just need some time and then speed will come naturally to me." I even understand fast patterns and can keep up with my eyes, but my fingers aren't moving fast enough.

I am driving towards 4 digit at the moment, but now I feel very unmotivated and am just playing maps for fun. I really need some help here, anything is appreciated.

Everyone has times like this (or at least the majority of players do).

Your lack of speed is actually that your reading has gotten worse, even though it doesn't feel like it. When you feel like you understand the pattern, but you can't hit it, it's because it takes just a bit too long to actually recognize the pattern and you can't coordinate the motion in enough time to hit it. Either that, or it's taking too long to actually recall the correct finger motions associated with that pattern. In either case, you need to practice things that will improve your reading of those things until you can hit them properly again.

In times like this, you've got several choices. You can take a break (but beware that you will be rusty when you return and will need to practice a lot to get back your skill). You can just stop pushing for improvement and spend a while playing whatever you feel like, until you feel motivated to improve again. Or you can force yourself to practice things that will improve your skillset.

Lol what can I say, never give up and push no matter how painful it is.
