its been 20 years i am playing poker ,online and live tables .in 20 years i didn't feel i should take rest from poker ,its like eating and drinking for me , sometimes i take a rest for 1 or 2 days but not for a long time .
To be honest, I don’t know. But usually I stop only when I feel it is time to stop. Or when the body itself already shows me that it’s enough. Yes it sounds strange, and you ask how it shows? 🙂 I’ll answer, for example, my head hurts. 🙂
You should take a break when you start having problems with poker. Just ask yourself a few questions: "Am I playing 100% now ?"
"I don't care if I win or lose.
- I perceive every lost hand very closely.
- I start thinking and remembering hands from previous sessions or tournaments, instead of focusing on the game now.
"I'm starting to play too many hands, killing my image at the table.
All these factors lead to the conclusion that self-control of our emotional state directly affects the results of our activities. When we feel rested and see our goal, we reach it much faster than when we are tired.Relax and win!

Ultimately, it’s on you. Your own self control, discipline and patience play a large part.
For myself personally it usually things external to poker which effect my play, thoughts about work, life and other things that shouldn’t be involved.
If I start thinking about things within poker usually it starts making me think more in depth to the game I’m in because I will remember past mistakes and think about how to avoid the situations again. Thus, I can manage to wriggle my way out

This is a very important point. If you can see that you are losing control, this is the right time. * Risking worthless hands; * Investing in low hands; * Try to recover money from previously lost hands. I think these are good points to take a break and analyze yourself.

Breaks are so important from time to time . You just need to know when you are ready for it. So look at your mind set .
Most of the time it's so effective when you run on down swings.
It will refresh your mind , to start a complete positive new run .

I sometimes get tired of all the bad beats and give it up for a while, I find some other past-time like reading or computer games, but always come back to poker in the end.
I stopped playing on-line for quite a while and concentrated on live games at the local pub, but since the Corona Virus outbreak I have found that impossible.
So it is back to the on-line free-rolls and play when I can.
After all is said and done I don't play to make money, you can only make money through hard work, I play because I love the game, and the Friends I have made along the way.
I suppose that is the difference between a course fisherman who will release his catch at the days end, and a serious Angler's who sell or eat their catch.
