I got PvZ2 two years ago, and to this day I haven't spent a penny on the game and my Bonk Choy and Repeater are level EIGHT

And THAT was because when I was completing the worlds I always did Ancient Egypt pinatas because they were easy to do

So to answer your question, it takes FOREVER Pretty much this. The problem is, the amount of coins and seed packets you need goes up exponentially, so you'll find on average, reaching lv4 to lv6 is quite doable.

However, to get to the next 1 to 3 levels after that can take just as much time to 3x as much for the total of all those prior levels.

Compared to lv2 and lv3.. those are practically reached "in the blink of an eye".

lv8 to lv lv10, or up to lv15 if the plants can go that high, that'll take about 6 to 10x the resources! One catch is, some of the plants are really nice at these levels (e.g. a maxed out Pot. Mine costs 0 sun!). Some plants get quite a boost when at lv5, like Stallia now has knockback, or Grapeshot has a -7s reduction, vs. the usual -1 per lv before that. Well I don’t play very often, I only go on about once a day, to do the piñata party and occasionally a couple battlez rounds, but I save a lot of money and currently have over 400k coins That was my level of play too. However, I went from 343k to 3K coins over the mid term since I suspect purchasing them three 20-seed packets, at 5K coins each, for quite a few weeks, ended up doing quite a number on my funds. That's about 220 to 290K right there, not counting the coins needed to unlock the lv up itself (of which some of them were 10K a pop). I watch a decent amount of free coin ads a day That hasn't been working for me recently. I suspect it may be my router, but I did messages from the game saying ads were not available at this time on a few occasions
