Performance Degradation

I've been playing mania for about 11 months now, and about 1-2 months ago I started playing 4.5-4.8* maps. I used to be able to S rank them, but ever since december, my skill and performance seemed to have just tanked. S ranks became A, sometimes even B ranks. My reading, speed and stamina seem to have gotten slower and shorter. I'm not sure if this is caused by my lack of skill physical condition degrading or I'm just not practicing hard enough.

I practice about 30 mins-1 hour a day 5 times a week. I used to do more physical activities (boxing, parkour etc.) 3 months ago but I've since stopped, so it's what leads me to believe my physical condition is the problem here. My rank doesn't increase at all anymore and it's like I've hit the novice wall again.

Any opinions on what I should do?

It takes me 1 hour to warm up, and you only play 30 min - 1 hour. That is just not enough to improve fast.

The more you improve at the game, the more time you need to improve further. Try playing 3-4 hours in a single session.

Also you need to determine which patterns you are worse at and play maps containing those patterns.

And don't judge a map by its star rating. In topics like this people always try to determine their skill level by star rating they play as if that means something. I can link you a bunch of maps below the range you specified and you won't be able to S-rank them.

Just don't lock yourself on a certain star rating range and play a wide variety of maps.

Ok, so practice for more than an hour, play the patterns I suck at to improve, and don't lock myself to star rating. Got it.

But the problem is, when I said S ranks to A ranks, it was on the same maps on the same difficulty. That's what got me confused. Know anything that might cause that sort of thing?

Also, can you link me those maps you mentioned? They sound like fun

You can't perform on the same level all the time. Let's say your average on a map is 800k score. Then one day you feel really well and get 900k easily. Now you most likely won't be able to beat that score for a while until your average skill significantly improves.

Here you go. Links lead directly to difficulties you want to play.
