There was one week where the Diamond League leader had 22000XP by Wednesday, and that is not a typo, and they were still going neck-in-neck with the person in the number 2 spot for the rest of the week.
A friend of mine told me that Diamond is a bit more chill than Obsidian if you're not trying to go for #1 because there's no more advancements to other leagues, Diamond is it, but I came very close to the demotion zone (below #45) last week and this was with me doing a lot of Duolingo every single day. It's not really "chill" when you need at least 1k XP every week to not get demoted to Obsidian (that's an average of 143 XP a day), and I found Obsidian was where people started to get really ridiculous in the top 10, so I'd rather coast above the demotion zone than try to get into the top 10 of Obsidian to get back into Diamond.
I mean, I'm disabled and home a lot and I don't have the time/energy to put in the amount of XP I'd need to grab #1 in Diamond League, I barely have the wherewithal to keep out of the demotion zone. If I was working there's no way I'd be able to put in the time into Duolingo that I'm doing now. I think the most I ever did was 7k XP in a week and that was a fluke and felt like I was running a marathon, I can't keep up with people doing 20k XP and stuff. :P
