6 months is ok. I would say even 12 months is fine, especially during the pandemic era when a lot of us have extra to deal with it. However, if you do want to re-enter tech, a sector which moves so fast, I would not leave it any longer than 12 months, unless you are also doing something in that time to keep your skills fresh. Could be that you're done with it though - if that is the case, then finding a career pivot in the next 12 months would be the move. Good luck!
