I guess I'll be the odd one out in this thread. 2-3 years worth of expenses sounds like a fairly small buffer for someone that has 20+ years of experience and currently makes 4x their monthly expenses. where is it all going?
I can't tell you what's best for you, but personally I would not choose this moment as the time to stop trying to make money for 1-2 years. assuming you live in the US, you are halfway through your career and not on track to retire after part two. if I were in your situation and really hated the current gig, I would probably try to find a new job with comparable pay and arrange for a 1-2 month gap before starting.

- lowercased 4y agoSimilar, and similar situation. Invested savings and retirement accounts have taken a beating - my cash is 'only' losing to some inflation. But on-hand cash savings for ~2ish years - could possibly be a bit longer if we cut a couple things.
