Chill. All you people freaking out about the things outside of your control are in for a rough life. Control what you can, sleep easy on the rest.

A1 has the right advice for all of us that none of us will actually be capable of implementing. :)
We hired four additional people over the course of the craziness and now it seems like there are too many attorneys and not enough work to go around

Be more aggressive. You won’t get fired for trying to get work. And ask if there are non billable things you can do to help.
send emails and ask for work or how you can help. document it. then relax.

I’m burned out, so i slowed way down this month. I also hope that won’t effect my position

They are probably spreading the work around to the other associates in your group who were slower earlier in the year and need to bill a lot to hit hours over the remainder of the year.
This is how a healthy functioning practice group is supposed to work. You should actually consider yourself lucky.
If that’s the case I would be grateful and probably found the unicorn of big law jobs!
You’ll be fine, but get aggressive now if you are worried about hitting a billable requirement. You will be 5x stressed if you’re in the same situation in December while trying to juggle any family/holiday expectations. Get out in front of this and ask for work so you can be busy in October and November. Then relax.
