How to Recover From ADHD Burnout, and the Question That Helps You Sort It Out
ADHD burnout has no clinical definition, no diagnostic listing, and no health authority on the first page of results for it. The exhaustion is real. What produces it is usually one of three documented things, and only one of the three responds to rest.
The Mental Effects of Sleep Deprivation, Starting With the One That Does Not Feel Like a Symptom

No health authority publishes a burnout recovery timetable, and the reason matters. Recovery is the removal of a cause, not the accumulation of rest. The three dimensions to track separately, the conditions that have to change, and the weekly readout that tells you whether any of it is working.
How to Recover From Burnout Without Quitting Your Job
