When you stop people-pleasing, you’ll lose some people. Notice which ones.

Pulling back on constant agreement sorts the people around you without any confrontation at all. Some adjust easily and stay, because what they liked was you rather than the service. Others drift once the convenience ends, which hurts and also tells you what the connection had been running on. Neither group is necessarily being cruel.

Over the next month, keep a quiet count of who stays close as you get less available. Put your hours toward the ones still there, and let the others go without a scene.
