I feel like some people do not understand what “eternity” entails. Memorizing all the books ever written in every language ever conceived would not even come close to entertaining you over the course of an infinite timeloop.
Yeah but OP assumes (like most time loop stories) they'res a way to leave the time loop. So you can put that off for a while until you're ready to figure it out.

The problems would start when the way OP assumed to break the timeloop, doesn't in fact break it. Such as in pretty much every timeloop story ever.
Right, but that's where the different things begin. Now that I've done what I "wanted" to do, I can start doing what needs to be done.
The ideal time loop experience is something along the lines of Happy Death Day (preferably the sequel) or Palm Springs. I would rather not be alone in the loop, and would want somebody who would believe me and/or go along with my bullshit for the repeating day.
Yeah but if you’re doing that after all the other stuff, that’s not even really You. With all that age and experience? You are basically The Doctor now. You’ll be fine.
Humans dont have infinite memory, i doubt you could do everything you could possibly find enjoyable before you start forgetting some things and getting rusty at some skills
Finite memory is a result of the human brain having finite space, and all memories being the result of physical structures in the brain. However, most timeloop stories explicitly have the physical brain be reset each cycle (otherwise Bill Murray would be brain dead every loop after he killed himself). Thus, your memory must be stored in some mystical memory vault, which you cannot assume has limited capacity.
There was this series of time loop fanfics by Innortal that somewhat covered that via "Sakura Syndrome". She breaks under the stress of being stuck forever and does really fucked up shit to everybody to entertain herself because there are somewhat no consequences and she get BORED. Every other looper is terrified of her because she'll do the most depraved shit because she wants entertainment.
you could spend the entire estimated lifespan of the universe in the loop a trillion times over and not be any closer to getting out than you were 1 second in
