Did I get penalized

Hello everyone, I launched my website 3 months ago and it was gradually growing. I had reached an average of around 3k impressions and 30 clicks per day, but today when I checked, it dropped to only 2 clicks and 155 impressions. The drop is huge, and Search Console hasn't shown any errors either.

    There could be several factors at play because the algorithm is always changing .

    Check Google Search Console for manual actions first.

    If nothing there, could be algorithm update or seasonal drop. December is weird
    for traffic in many niches.

    Also check if any of your top pages dropped specifically. That'll tell you
    if it's sitewide or just a few keywords.

    I've seen similar drops on small sites, sometimes it's just Google reshuffling tests. If Search Console shows no errors, I usually wait a few days before changing anything -- sometimes it bounces back on its own
