If I needed a break I would have just taken it. No point doing something when you heart is not in it. Sometimes breaks help reinvigorate a monotonous habit. And if you are too worried of dissapointing your readers, maybe reduce the frequency to one a week or something. But not everyoe can do that in which case break is a good option. You built engagement from scratch earlier, you can do it again. You have tons of experience now :)
