It may be sufficient to reach £221.20/week but have you actually checked that on gov.uk?1 -
yes i have checked online and i am at the max pension which is £221.20. continuing to pay class 2 isn’t going to affect my pension so i will be wasting £ to voluntary contribute when i have exceeeed max qualifying years0

Which it could be for 2023-24 for some people but 2024-25 onwards it's only ever voluntary.
