I guess it depends where everyone else is up to in "your" league, too?
Because I can consistently come 1st in the Onyx league with a middling amount of effort, but it's a battle just to stay out of the demotion zone on Diamond. 😅
I've been taking it easy with Duolingo lately. I was pushing 3k a week but I started back at Uni for the first time in literal years (maybe 4? 5?) and it is taking a lot from me. So one lesson a day now.
