Low battery mode isn’t giving up. It’s getting to the charger with something left.

Cutting back is a strategy, not a surrender. When your capacity drops, the sensible move is to reduce what is running rather than keep everything going until you stop entirely. Deciding what to shut off takes judgment, and doing it early means you reach rest with something in reserve instead of nothing.

If this week is thin, choose two things that genuinely have to happen and let the rest go quiet without apologizing for it. Tell whoever needs to know. Then plan the recovery rather than hoping it turns up on its own, because rest that is scheduled tends to actually arrive.
