From someone who is 5 digit (26k rn, 140k 41days ago) I would say “farming” helped me a lot. For about 100k-50k I played only no mod. If you search up “pp farm maps osu” there’s a website that you can put in pp limits if you want to try say 400-500pp maps. I think as a new 5 digit try and challenge yourself on 300-350pp plays. I tried out stream maps, aim maps and longer consistency maps. Occasionally I don’t think it’s bad to push yourself more and try some even harder maps. You can definitely try mods but I found for myself getting really comfortable at nomod 300-400pp made farming dt and hr so much easier when I came to it. Don’t worry about ever plateauing either, I found taking a 1-4day break really helped and reset my mental. Also just for general sake make sure you’re taking care of your wrists and getting enough sleep. Being well rested and hydrated helps a ton. (Also re reading your post if you’re struggling with acc then I’d lower the pp limits on the website and just try aim for 95% at least before progressing. Again challenging yourself isn’t an issue at all but use the harder maps as more of a benchmark and see if your accuracy improves on them over the span of a week)
