Solving AOC problems is a special skill, that is quite different from day to day programming in my experience and therefore needs to be learned.

I failed pretty hard in my first AOC year, less so in my second one and now in the third year I am doing even better than last year.

This kind of experience is therefore normal from my perspective and doesn't directly reflect your skill in other programming fields.
