I tend to get bored when I'm not learning anything new, so I have this issue too to some extent.

Some options:

1. Figure out how to automate yourself out of a job, which can be a new challenge.

2. Rewrite a legacy system to not be terrible, so you're doing root cause fix instead of bandaids.

(Talk about those in more detail here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/03/15/stagnating-job/)

3. Find an organization with many kinds of projects and move teams when you get bored. Much less work than finding a completely new job.
