Being stuck for 5 days is not a long period of time. Players get stuck at their levels for months or even years. It could just be that you got a particularly hard sequence of puzzles, or that you didn't sleep well, or many different reasons.
There is no "perfect" way to calculate. If there was, chess would be a very uninteresting game. You could just give ...
