I bought a season pass, but the daily tasks are replacing the game I actually enjoy

Last night I had forty minutes to play. I spent thirty-five gathering tokens for a daily task, then logged off without joining the mode I'd opened the game for.

The season pass cost me $12. In this game, the outfit I wanted is at the end of a task track, and I've been doing a little each night to reach it. I am close enough that stopping feels wasteful, but I don't enjoy these tasks. My friend says we can keep doing them together and that missing the outfit now would be "throwing away the pass."

He isn't pressuring me maliciously; he likes having a nightly partner. I like seeing him. I just keep choosing the reward over the part where I get to play.

Would you finish the track because it's nearly done, or switch back to the fun mode even if the outfit remains locked? I need a way to judge the remaining evenings, not another reminder that I've already paid $12.
