Thanks for posting this, I've been curious about what counts as a search to Kagi. On one hand, I get it: making requests obviously costs them money, and they certainly don't owe me anything as a non-user anyway. But I'm even less likely to switch to it with this knowledge, because this just doesn't fit well with how I search for things. It doesn't jive with the mental model of what I would think of as a search in my head as an end user, where changing the actual search terms is obviously a new search, but filtering, reloading, viewing the next page, etc, are just part of the same search.

Same. I would do it even if it came with a pay cut. It might be burnout for me, it might be a job that doesn't fit anymore (or, hell, maybe the whole career), I don't know — but I know I just had 2 weeks of vacation and am absolutely dreading Monday.
I actually set up a scheduled task that runs every 5 minutes (maybe overkill, but I didn't know with what frequency they get reenabled) to make sure any task that can wake my computer from sleep is turned off.
I got so tired of Windows turning on my computer in the middle of the night, checking for updates (but never actually applying any) to apply updates, and then leaving it on all night afterwards, like WTF.
If you have iOS, there's an app called SongShift. I think some features are paid, but I used it once a few years ago to transfer my Spotify library into Apple Music to try it out. It looks like it can also export to JSON too (that might be a paid feature?).
