It is better than 2000 and not as good as 2200.

define what you think is good before anyone can give meaningfull answer. But it puts you in top 20% of rapid players. Which I would consider good. Still far from master level but others tend further away than you

A rating should reflect not only the nominal time control, but also how much thinking time players actually use.

A player rated 1500 in rapid who consistently makes moves almost instantly is not necessarily demonstrating the same decision-making ability as a player rated 1500 who uses most of the available time to calculate variations, evaluate positions, and avoid mistakes.

Rapid describes the time available, not the time used. Rating comparisons can become misleading when players use very different amounts of their available time.

In a 10-minute-each rapid game, the nominal time is 20 minutes combined. But that doesn't mean both players are getting the equivalent of a 10-minute game in terms of actual decision-making conditions. One could be like pre-moving while the other never pre-moves. So one is not even using there time and get to ponder on the opponent time while the opponent cannot ponder on the players time. So forget the word Rapid and Blitz because online it nearly is the same thing. I play on average 3 seconds per move and I really don't care what it is called. Hence, the ratings all look similar:

Bullet: 1619
Blitz: 1595
Rapid: 1581
Classical: 1586

A rating is only as good as the effort you put into the game. Pre-moves are done because you got time to ponder against an opponent that was not racing the clock or trying to flag you. Chess is not an engine race with a finishing flag.

Take your time and see if you can reach master level puzzles.
Play out the puzzle streak puzzles. From that you could compare your self to others.
