Chill out dude and at least give 50+ contests to really know where u stand.
Before that don’t make any assumptions.

Are you sure you’re using all the time you’re provided? (I solved the 4th problem yesterday in the last 6 minutes because I was just staring at my screen for 2 hours trying to figure something out.)
Are you upsolving and/or reading the editorial?
Are you looking up the pre requisites mentioned in each editorial?
Do you know basic DSA and are you comfortable with the language you’re using?
Getting 3* is not a matter of intelligence you just need practice. You’re missing something very basic or not trying harder problems than you’re used to if you’re finding it difficult.
