Some times only 1 some times 2 or 3...How many encounters would you get per session?
We sucked though, we all had low stats well below average magic items and we had 1 guy I swear was fudging his dice to miss

I was a warlock and my 1st magic item was at level 6ish a clock of protection... I was InTeens before I got a +1 implementSome times only 1 some times 2 or 3...

Slow going.
Combat light or short sessions?
The campaign was somewhat of an anamoly. Everyone participating knew D&D already and we were able to squeeze roughly 2 levels on our first real session (after session 0). It was probably a bit later than 6 months exactly, though.That’s impressive 26 sessions with a level almost every 3 hour session.
If you like high level play though, but don’t want to skip early levels of development (which brings its own problems) why not.
I cant speak for your DMs math, but I assure you the math behind the XP per level chart is designed to go super fast 1-3, slow for 4-11 and then 1 level per session from 12th onwards.
You actually need less XP to go from 11th to 12 (and 12th to 13th, and 13th to 14th) than you do to go from 10th to 11th.
Bearing in mid over those levels you're dealing with higher CR threats (that give a lot more XP) and the progression speed up past 11th level is really (really) noticable.
Took my group like 5-6 sessions to move from 10th to 11th. Then it was like 2 sessions per level thereafter, and rapidly sped up from there (while you need more XP after 14th level, the XP awards are substantially higher at those levels).
If I was doing double XP from 11th level, PCs would be levelling at least once per session!
