Do you absolutely love the work when you’re in the thick of it? If it motivates you more than almost anything else you can imagine, even when the team / client is mediocre, then stick with it.
If that’s not the case, then bail asap. The agency world is a slowly sinking ship due to a lot of causes, and you will be better off (salary-wise, life balance-wise, etc)

What industry can a copywriter pivot to that doesn't have basically the same exact issues as ours? The economy is brutal

Just be a mercenary and understand there’s no retiring from this. Adjust your 401K accordingly and keep and ear out for other opportunities.
you’re a writer
there’s actually lots of jobs beyond ad agencies for people who write infectiously well💪
Yes, seriously like what? I feel like everybody says this, but nobody has a good suggestion where our skill set easily translates to. )The few options I’ve ever seen mentioned also seem to pay 50% of my advertising salary.) Would love some real insight what to transition to…. And how

It’s a dying career in an industry that is more than happy to accelerate its death. Get out now.
No I just struggle with doom and gloom mediocre copywriters trying to scare away people from what can be a fulfilling career.
I’m fully aware that I might become irrelevant by 45 or 55 if I’m lucky! I’m making sure to invest in other streams of income and riding the wave as long as I can. We get paid pretty well especially as freelancers so switching to something else seems a bit painful.
From AD to Social Media Manager (imo more stable) and now bartending on the side (I used to bartend before finishing school) Hospitality is the least unstable career where I’m at so at this point I’ll always do it on the side in case of another layoff. 4 layoffs in 6 years… client loses are a slap in the face.
