Where the slackening lands you

The question the report asks is where you end up when the zeal comes off.

If a person comes off the peak and settles into something moderate and regular, that is the good outcome, and the report says to have hope for them. If they come off it into something else entirely, that is different.

So the thing to look at is not whether you dropped from what you were doing in Ramadan. Everybody drops from what they were doing in Ramadan. The thing to look at is what you settled onto, and whether there is anything under you at all.

Which is exactly what the next lesson is about.
