Two hundred LeetCode problems in and I stopped being able to focus mid-problem

Wasn't burnout in the dramatic sense, just a slow decline where every session started feeling like homework instead of practice. Took eight days completely off, no problems, no prep videos. Came back and solved a medium I'd have struggled with before in about fifteen minutes. Apparently the plateau wasn't a knowledge gap, it was just fatigue pretending to be a skill ceiling.
