If you don't lose ranks, you aren't hitting a plateau at all.
It simply means that you improve as fast as everyone else at your rank! Which is still improvement.
A plateau looks like this:
Looks like a downward hill rather than a plateau lol
That's only due to the nature of the graph. It is a skill plateau.
Check the following graph to see the difference:
The part roughly between the green bars is a rank plateau. As you can see, despite "being stuck" my pp increased from ~2900 to ~3300 in that period. As you can see from the steady rise of pp over time, I was continously improving. This is progress and nothing to be worried about. If you "plateau" like that, you're in a good spot because you're improving on a daily basis.
The other thing is a skill plateau. I was unable to improve and as a result my rank went down. This is being stuck and is something to be worried about. The peculiar jump after is - by the way - an update of the pp calculation that gave me like 250pp without me doing anything.
(and yes, mid 2015 you were top 50k with just 1600pp)
