Good software shops leave a good amount of "slack" time for their engineers. It's how you handle shit hitting the fan without burnout.
I currently work on a team that has been basically solving multiple crises per year for years now. In the blips where we've returned to normalcy, we didn't push hard. Because we knew that was time to recover because another crisis was definitely coming.
The crises were external / due to leadership being aggressive without our input..so at that point, all you can do is execute. And part of executing is resting.
