Time needed to prepare for FB coding interview

I've recently failed my FB interview for an L6 role (SDE). According to the feedback, my behaviour and design interviews were fine. The problem was with my coding: got "inclined with concerns" for my first task (medium difficulty) and completely failed my second task (hard difficulty).
I am not dumb, but I'm not an expert in algorithms either. So, I spent 2 weeks (mostly night/weekend time) to read through all the FB / Google tasks on Leetcode. Obviously, that was not enough.
Was that just a bad luck? If not, how much time do people usually spend to pass this interview? And where do they find this time (give up on their current responsibilities, take a vacation / sabbatical)? #fb #facebook

Although, the questions I was asked were far from what Leetcode offered me in his FB/Google section.
