About a week or two ago, I was playing a few 4 star maps and was doing much better than I had before, then I took a break for about a day or two and every since I did I struggle to even read 3.5stars and above and sometimes even dying on 4.0 stars, does anyone have any idea of what I could do to solve this issue??

Perfectly normal and expected. You simply need to warm up, get your hands ready and your mind sharp. Just like you don't immediately want to weightlift to your muscular failure without warming up beforehand (doing so risking injuries).

Simply play a couple of easier maps. You'll get warmed up sooner or later

Thanks for the tips, but I do think ive somehow gotten worse, I can't even read certain 4.0 stars at all that I was able to before, also my acc has become horrendous and I'm getting B's on 4* maps I would easily get 92%> on

You can get burnt out from osu if you play too much, just try to take a break and if you choose to play don't think about if you're doing bad or not, because in the end we're all here to just have fun. You'll improve again with time. Wish you the best of luck m8!

Build up to 4* again if you can't read it that's completely fine just go to something you can do BUT there are situations where you can read maps harder than your skill level

This is typically accomplished via playing a bunch of reading heavy maps as practice or for an entire session HOWEVER I have no proof this works lol

LOL IM WORSE BRO I PASSED MAP X TODAY WITH AND FC AND FAIL IT TOMORROW.. Pretty much like that.

OK so I see that you're 2kpp and started playing on May. If this information is correct, then I would assume that you're too new to understand how you work. HEY BRO AREN'T YOU PLAYING MANIA??? HAHAHAHA

Well anyways, same thing. PikaGEMER suspected you for getting burnt out. That could be true, but it also could be this:
Since you're new you fluked your improvements leading to great scores whatsoever. And since your skills are still freshly obtained, it just went away during the 2 off days. Meaning your skillset is quite good, but not yet well forged into the muscle memory.

So yes, it would be fair if you would start over from easier diffs. And don't worry too much about pp. Get stable, play challenging maps, have fun. You'll get good.

I think I know the answer to your issue. you must have hit a skill boost on that day you were playing 4 stars. I've had like 7 skill boosts before but they usually aren't permanent and often leave me feeling either a tiny bit better the next day or flat out worse at the game. I've come to learn skill boosts to be more of a "potential boost" meaning once you hit a skill boost your improvement back up to that level will be faster.

as for why you can no longer pass 4 stars you usually could it's probably because you've mind blocked yourself into thinking you're worse at the game which inturn actually did make you worse. also for future reference try to play star ratings you can 95% acc. because if you can 95% acc a map you are 100% improving. I've never considered anything below a 95% passing because even though you passed the map you could have easily spammed or manip'd patterns which will really slow your improvement overall. you'll know you can play higher stars once it starts to get easier to get 95% or over on stars you usually play.

one more thing is just because you can pass one 4 star map with 95% doesn't mean you can pass every 4 star map. you may think you can't pass them because osu messed up the star rating but it's actually just because your playing a pattern you haven't learned yet so don't beat yourself up because you can pass some 4 stars but not all. (I've done that exact thing and still do sometimes but trust me eventually you WILL be able to pass all 4 star maps and all 4 star maps will actually start to feel like any other 4 star)

hope i didn't make this explaintion too confusing and helps!
