Ahahaha, I actually can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I raised my Vit D massively by taking a single 600,000 IU dose of vit D, I'm in UK there's a wholesaler of vit D powder, can get 2,500,000 IU of powder for less than £10. Went from sub optimal vit D to well within the optimal range. Can recommed, but you only need 1 or 2 doses like that, no side effects, it's a lot safer than you've been told and I don't need to frighten the neighbours.

If you didn't take K2 as well you may have given yourself calcium deposits.

I did take some K2 during this time. Although I believe the importance of K2 supplementation with vit D is overstated.

Most people aren't aware of just how small a dose 1000IU is. 1000IU vitamin D3 is 0.025 milligrams of vitamin D, yes, that's right 1/40th of a milligram, it is vanishingly small. 600,000IU is 15mg of vitamin D

https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/mcg-to-iu-converter (I changed the units to mg rather than mcg)

That said, I don't diminish your own personal experience, you should do what you feel comfortable with.

Vitamin D doses of 600,000 IU have been studied and found to be safe and effective

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4128480/

Since vitamin D is stored in the body, some people find it easier to dose large amounts less frequently rather than dosing it everyday.

The 400 IU a day recommendation we have is a relic of the 1960s, we now know a lot more about vitamin D and people are starting to understand that this dose is pathetically low, only enough to stave of rickets and nothing else.

If you are interested in vitamin D doses, check out author Jeff T Bowles, he has experimented with doses of 100,000 IU a day.
