It's very tempting to shamash that button. Intelligence is lionized. It's high praise to call someone a genius. I'd probably wait on any button pushing until I'm old enough to have some cognitive decline.
I'm no genius. I'm a bit above average intelligence. And I have to say, I'm not sure it's done much to improve my overall happiness.
Like many gifts, it's a double-edged sword. Having a higher capacity for language, problem solving, and memorization has done a lot to ostracize me for my peers over the years.

I imagine you’d reach a point where you’d be able to deduce that you no longer need/should more buff.

Maybe, maybe not .
Like the Tibetan Buddhists say :
Beyond, beyond, beyond beyond! Hail the goer!
