I haven't gotten a raise in probably 10 years. But realistically I make a lot more than most developers where I live (Los Angeles) and there would be no reason for my company to give me a raise when I'm probably the highest paid non-sales person where I work (and often have been). So I'm ok with it.

Just got an extra side gig for 20-25% hours per weeks so it's like getting a 50% raise and feels great.

Although seeing how many $500k jobs exist in Silicon Valley makes me think I should spend more time grinding leetcode.
