When I get burnt out, I go to a different but adjacent role. That way I can apply my experience, but perhaps in a different context. It's helped with my burnt out.
Companies tend to look at someone who's good in their role and say 'surely they'll be good at managing people in the same role'. But perhaps you're not suited for management due to any number of factors. Experiences bears out that I'm good at training. But I find training all day long and work travel incredibly exhausting. So moving to trainer wouldn't have worked for me.
I'd suggest trying to find an adjacent position to what you currently do while still being an individual contributor. Or maybe look for companies wanting principals or tech evangelists. Maybe that will put you onto something less draining for you.
