Still on my way...
How long did it take you to get an elo of 1000 in chess.

Depends on 4 things: a) your age, b) how naturally talented your are, c) how many hours od study and practice you put in, and d) the quality of that study.
There is no standard progression. One person can be a 1000 within weeks of learning how to play, and another will stay below 1000 for years, maybe forever.
All you can do is try and see how you get on.
Me who took 5 days on an alt account and 61 games

Personally, it took me five months. I think I could have done it quicker though. Do puzzles on lichess, just study one opening (the Italian), learn a few traps (Fried Liver), and blunder-check every move.
6 months and not there yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably about 4 months after learning to play. Everyone has their own pace though. It’s just like learning a language.
been stuck in 5-700 for 5 years lol

At 7 within my first two weeks of learning the game. That said 1,000 here is far stronger than 1,000 in general public imo. Start with longer time controls. 15 min and up, then when you improve you can decrease time. Some get to 2,000 in under a year I feel just like you do and no matter how good you think you got theres always someone better...
my highest is 985
Took me more than a year

I am 894 elo (close to 900) on my way to 1000 elo and I was able to get here is 5 months from 450 elo for Before that I was in 200-300 elo range for over a year I was able to progress now because I genuinely studied chess and applied what I learnt , that is Move only when needed Follow chess opening principles Avoid gambits Play in higher time controls( 10+0 prefered) This should get us to 1000 elo
It'll take 2-3 months and within 500 games to reach from 500 elo if you keep learning throughout the process. Self analyze every match you play and make sure to not repeat the mistakes. Play solid openings and avoid blunders and misses. Learn throughout the journey. Learning is the key as you keep moving to higher elos.
