When to stop playing?

Kind of opposite to liamboi's thread. But it's an interesting question.
When sat down on cash and you're having a decent run, when do you stop playing? Do you stop when you reach a specific target? When the cards may start to go against you? When you're tired? Or do you keep playing until you go bust like me? lol.
As an MTT player I struggle to walk away when im up, as for me the chip lead = dominance. You can boss people off pots. Cash is so much different as people arent forced into playing average hands as everyone is always so deep. Ergo... when I do go up and try and boss people around, I tend to find myself walking into the nuts and ultimately losing. Definitely not used to just walking away when I want - usually theres a definitive end to my session in MTTs... and im dragging the habit across to cash.
What's everyones thoughts?

Poker is one long session thats lasts years, with gaps for eating/sleeping etc etc
Have a break from this long term session when you are tired/tilted/bored/tables are too tight or anything that takes it from +ve outlook to neutral or -ve.
There is just no long term logic to banking profits or cutting losses as long as you are still playing your A game & distraction free at that given moment in time. Its just you getting psyched out.
When you bust your roll, and not a moment before.
