I imagine it'd be really difficult to reach dangerous levels if you're drinking to satisfy your thirst. The only way I can see someone drinking more than 2L/hour is if they're forcing themselves to do so.

Are you qualified to make this statement (genuinely asking) ?
I tend to drink a lot and have read several times that drinking too much can be bad and change your electrolise balance or something like this.

Yes, I’m certainly qualified. My qualification is the critical thinking skills necessary to find and comprehend the medical guidance on this issue [0].
If you’re uncertain feel free to ask your healthcare provider.

Maybe if you drink it all at once. 5L/day is perfectly fine for everyone in the world. If you’re drinking more than 2L/hour, that’s a problem. So space it out and drink a liter an hour or two and you’ll be fine. In the US, that’s two gallons and is a ton of water.
It’s pretty common to see friends carrying a gallon jug around to make sure they drink their gallon a day.
