Yeah I've definitely reached that burnout before! I had to take a bit of time out of coding in general. I would suggest doing something different that doesn't involve a computer screen like some of the suggestions here. Things like maybe hiking or bird watching. I'm sure there's a bunch of local organizations that are available for you to find that involves outdoor recreation.

If you want to combat that burnout with coding still, maybe try learning something different from what you're used to, like game dev.
