Few things:

1. Talk to your co founders if not already about this and see what they have to say

2. Take a break for couple of weeks before deciding anything.

"raise a smaller round at a more reasonable valuation"

This makes me think that you guys raised too much (not that uncommon in 2021-early 2022) and the pressure to grow is lot more than you thought. Regardless, even if you raise at more "reasonable" valuations, the pace and stress expected from a VC backed company is always high. Very high.

If you truly cannot keep up with the pace and stress in general (not just this startup), you perhaps need to revisit the idea of building a company especially the VC way. May be start bootstrapped first ? Just a thought.
