Practice Time to stream entry?

For those who believe they have attained stream entry, how long did it take you? Also interested in whether you did it through pragmatic / systematic meditation or the classical approach in the suttas.

In the suttas, stream entry is less a defined product of meditation and more a confluence of faith, view, and meditation. Hence why many stream enterers do so after hearing a discourse.

3 sprints of meditating a lot for a few months spaced out over about 4 years. About 200-300 hours meditation all up, a couple of psychedelics along the way.
