If I control Rhystic Study and opponent casts a spell do I have remind of the trigger?
If opponent doesnt notice trigger I choose not to draw. Is this legal?

So yes, you are expected to announce your triggers. That said, how strictly this is enforced will obviously depend on REL - in a tournament, you are required to do so, but if you're playing in a casual environment then it will be more lax. In that case, check with your playgroup.Triggers happen all the time in a game of Magic and it can be difficult enough for a player to remember their own triggers, let alone opponents' triggers. We don't penalize players for not pointing out their opponent's forgotten triggers, but it is cheating for a player to intentionally ignore their own triggers.
Choosing not to draw is 100% legal though - Rhystic Study specifically says you may draw. (and a common houserule is 'if you miss the trigger, just treat it as if you chose not to draw')
Im not sure about rules enforcement level. Very low?
The event I usually play in is structureless commander play with no prizes or costs. I do sign up via companion app and proxies are not allowed. Im not sure if there is even a judge present. I havent heard if anyone ever getting a rules penalty or something like that.

To be clear, the expected behavior doesn't change based on REL - you should always be announcing your triggers. They're your triggers, and your opponents are not obligated to remind you about them. There are exceptions, like if you're using some sort of shortcut (such as because your opponent indicated they are / aren't paying for the entire turn), but if you're drawing cards without announcing triggers, then that would be considered cheating (or at the very least angle-shooting). The only thing that changes based on REL is the mitigation for a missed trigger - in casual, I'd just go with whatever the table agrees on (usually either rewinding if the missed trigger is caught quickly, or skipping it if it has been a while).
