I had my high school phase of extreme practicing hours too.
In year 10 and 11 (10th/11th grade), 3-6 hours a day on school days and 8-12 hours on days I had off.
Unless you're extremely introverted, have practically no social life and have no responsibilities/obligations, it can't last forever really.
I've got shit to do, more of a social life and I wanted to develop in other areas of life too, and all of this eats into my time I could be playing.
But I don't mind, because I enjoy being a more well rounded person.
These days, it's more like 30-90 minutes of playing on most days, and maybe 3-4 hours if I'm lucky on some other more rare days.
I can't say I really do much in the way of technical exercises anymore when I practice/play guitar, but I definitely make an effort to be using the metronome almost daily when just writing some riffs/practicing some riffs.
Even just 15-20 minutes of metronome work a day DOES A LOT for your playing in general.
Everyone should be doing it to get more out of their practice sessions
