I think do less is pretty much the answer I consistently see. The worse the burnout the less you need to do and for longer. Many times the reasons why it's hard to do less are mental hangups(like fear of failure, perfectionism, the Ides that you're worthless as a coder if you're not coding 24/7) that prevent people from doing less and a therapist would help with that. Of course sometimes what is preventing someone from doing less is their financial situation in which case you unfortunately have a lot fewer options. For me it was quitting my job and starting a consulting company with a couple of friends. I make less money and work more but I have a way better time doing it and that has allowed me to recover.
