Early in my career I billed a lot. A lot, a lot. I don’t even want to put the number here. A lot.
I couldn’t do it. It made me sick. If billing like that makes *you* sick, stop doing it. It doesn’t make you a lesser lawyer, or weak, or show you’ve failed.

I know, this is my long running hobby horse. But it’s true. If your body and brain tell you to stop, you gotta stop. Just right away. Don’t let your ego make you continue.
I know of what I speak. I’m talking to you, striver person. You!

It took a lot for me to get over the fact that Dude/ette X, who I thought I was as good as, loved the grind and enjoyed it, and I didn't. But just get over it. You'll be way happier.
Oh, and it doesn't matter if your "can't do it anymore" number is 2000, or 2200, or 3000. You can't will yourself to do it. Just find something else.
