The less you rely on it for language learning, the better, in my opinion. I wanted to ask about this point for awhile. In situations where I’m completely stuck (which is when I use DeepL), what else am I to do? If I come here I’d be asking like… 12 questions a day or more lol. How can I better pr…

Doesn’t answer your question but don’t forget that just moving on is a very valuable skill when you can’t find the answer on your own.
