I have one guitar that I play every day for an hour and I change strings every 2 weeks. After some experimenting I did notice something similar to your experience: one day they are fine and the next day they have deteriorated severely.

I cannot recommend string changes enough. It is not difficult to do (there are some great vids, including one by Tony) and very rewarding. If you are up for it: try some different brands and gauges. Won’t cost you much apart from some time and to me it always feels like New Guitar Day when I do it, both in sound and playability.
