Three of my former managers “self demoted” to an IC because they didn’t really enjoy management. Including one of my former managers who is in his late 50s who self demoted after his kids graduated. Now he’s a full stack React/C#/Azure developer and said he threatened to quit his job when they tried to promote him.

You need a path of self-demotion otherwise the only route to fixing a misplaced promotion is by firing or quitting.
