How do you guys use PTO?

I never really have to use PTO for errands and stuff since I can WFH and be a little flexible with my hours, so I'm struggling to find the right time to take off PTO. I didn't realize it, but I ended up with a full month this year (they added another floating holiday) and I've requested off everything I could think off and still have 9.5 days (5 roll over).

I guess I should just take some days and do nothing? I don't want to waste them by doing nothing though.

what's your policy for PTO? Are you capped at a certain amount? can you cash-out, etc.?

Other than the obvious vacation/trips, i use mine for when the kid gets sick and my wife is working, when i get sick (no sick leave), and when i need a day off (mentally drained or otherwise REALLY not wanting to go to work. We're capped at 144 hours, so if i ever approach that number i'll be just taking days off here and there. Any errands or stuff i need to do at home (contractors) i can WFH as long as it's not consistently.
