I took SS at 62, also.
The math made sense to take the reduced amount for that 63 month, because I'd have to live to be 82 to break even. Given my family history, 82 is hardly guaranteed.
I'm still not at FRA so I'm limited as to wage income. But, I don't want to sub so often that I'd hit the limit.
Like you, I'm not interested in taking on more work. To hit the limit, I'd nearly need to double it. No way.
