HIIT is far beyond vigorous.
Vigorous would be Z2/3 cardio, so like 120-160 BPM for most adults. Moderate would be Z1 90-120.
Once you are capable of doing cardio consistently in Z4/5 with HIIT and tempo training you really don't need to worry about "am I doing enough exercise."

But that's all the cardio I get. I walk 20 minutes per day to bring the kids to school, and lift weight. Weight lifting doesn't count, but I tested yesterday and I average 110 bpm during a workout (it's constant ups-and-downs). Based on that, it would count for moderate exercise. The time investment is steep if we cannot count weight lifting, there is no escape.
