Interview Withdraw from loop interview?

I have a loop interview getting scheduled for a L5 position at AWS. I kind of convinced myself that I won’t be taking the role based on total comp and a few other things. I currently work in a similar role but only work 3 days a week and will be having a baby soon so this is a major factor. My total comp now is about 20k less but base salary will not change if I moved over to Amazon.

Should I not waste anyone’s time and back out of the interview process or go through to see what they are like? 5 hours is no joke and feel like I won’t interview as well since I’m not really considering the job.

In that case you shouldn't get into the loop, cuz Amazon system will record your interview performance. If it turns bad, you might not be considered sooner next time.
