How do I Know I am no Longer a Beginner?

I have some burning questions which I been wondering about for a long time now. When am I no longer a beginner? How does one know when one is no longer a beginner? Where does the line go?
I first started coding in HTML when I was 16 and kept at it for a couple of years, had a break and started coding in C++ for many months (until I got stuck), then I had a break for a few years and started again with Blockly (of all things!), I have also tried out a couple of other languages like CSS, Ruby, SQL and JavaScript among a few others and eventually settled with Python and an ASM-like pseudocode called EXA programming from the programming game, EXAPUNKS.
I have made simple websites, created several profiles, created stickers, made several pure CSS images (one of them got published on Popular Pens on X), made a simple Ping Pong game which I uploaded to a game sharing site and also wrote a few other small games, I participated in and completed Hacktoberfest 2018 and 2019, I have earned 1st place on Sololearn a couple of times, I created a couple of games during my game development lections on CodeCombat (two of them can be played on my website), I completed the #100DaysOfCode on X and not too long ago, I won my first and only hacker battle.
Am I still a beginner? How do I know I am no longer a beginner?
