My position after several rounds of this: track one thing, on paper, and only while you need it.
Why one: tracking six habits means the tracking is itself a daily chore, and the chore is what survives when motivation drops. That is how you end up with your situation - a perfect record of a system maintaining itself.
Why paper: an app makes tracking frictionless and elaborate, which sounds good and is the problem. Streaks, badges, statistics, reminders: all of it makes the record more rewarding than the behaviour. A mark on a wall calendar carries none of that.
Why only while you need it: tracking is scaffolding. It is for the phase where the behaviour needs a decision every day. Once it is automatic, the tracking is pure overhead and you should stop, which is a thing almost nobody does because the streak makes stopping feel like failure.
The test for whether to keep tracking something: if you stopped recording it, would you still do it? If yes, stop recording it. If no, keep the record and be honest that the habit is not established yet.
And on your token days: those are not cheating, they are the system working as designed. Do not feel bad about them; change what you are counting.
