Sudden CS:GO lag could be due to a bunch of reasons. First, check your internet connection - a weak or unstable connection is usually the main culprit. Also, make sure to close any background apps that could be eating up your bandwidth or CPU power. Don't forget to check for any recent game updates or graphic driver updates that might need installing. Sometimes, the game's servers might be having a rough day too, so it might not even be on your end!

Well, have you considered that your PC might just not be up to the task anymore? CS:GO isn't the newest game, but with updates and new content, the game's demands can change. Maybe it's time for an upgrade if you're running on old hardware.

Quick check: If you're playing CS:GO and it suddenly starts lagging, restart your router and PC first. It's like the universal fix for everything tech-related. If that doesn't work, lower your game settings. High graphics settings can overwork your system, causing lag.

Honestly, sometimes it's just Valve doing maintenance or having server issues. Check online forums or CS:GO's official social media to see if anyone else is experiencing lag. If it's a widespread issue, all you can do is wait it out.
