I think what you’re describing is perfectly normal. I’ve observed people with a creative bent experience these ebbs and flows while people who are in more managerial roles tend to stay energized most of the time.

Most people(particularly me) live paycheck to paycheck in regular jobs with average-to-low security where they just cant afford to "Not do things because no motivation." I personally just power through with very mediocre work, lots of stimulants and feeling miserable for weeks.

Most processes of the human brain are designed to be outsourced to social structures which are now absent. In an ancient context, much motivation stemmed from the desire to fulfill social roles and not inspire the disappointment or anger of one's peers and elders. That's now gone

same but instead of days to weeks it's years to decades

Yes. I feel like my baseline is some sort of severing between my abstract large scale desires and my ability to make my body do anything beyond what it wants exactly in that moment. Which overall isn't that bad actually.
