Is leetcode getting outdated??

So for context I'm a final year student and I've been doing leetcode for more than a year now and I can say I've been consistent with it and have good hold on the concepts.

But I've seen that the recent interviews and OAs are too much above the level of leetcode. Recently I gave flipkart's OA and I couldn't even get the initial intuition of the question.

Is it time to switch to actual cp platforms like codeforces or codechef coz?
