It was around that time we noticed Ivan in Figma. He suddenly popped to the top of our most active user list — spending upwards of 18+ hours a day in our design tool. As we’d later find out, he was designing frenetically and barely sleeping, pumping out version after version of a new app that would become Notion 1.0.How Notion pulled itself back from the brink of failure

At first I was just surprised to see Figma so openly saying they have a "list of our most active users" - and that they keep track of it. On a more general level, I'm sceptic to articles like this that celebrate Notion's success through "working 18+ hours a day".
