dont move to microservices too early.

So, I'm trying to figure out the right time to split up a big API. Right now, everything's in one service, and honestly, it's getting kinda tough to handle. Adding new features takes longer and longer, and coordinating deployments is a real headache. I've seen other teams go to microservices way too soon and end up with more trouble than they started with. What makes you decide it's time to make that leap? Are there certain numbers or issues that make you think, 'Okay, it's time to break this thing apart and go distributed'?
