A2 Coasting until End of the Stint

I'm an A2 planning to leave my group in the summer, depending on when we're contractually allowed to for bonuses getting paid out (would prefer end of June so I can do some chill traveling in Europe). I don't have an offer secured yet, but targeting MM PE, and corp. dev. if necessary. Bottom line is that I'm burnt out, while also trying to spend more time on securing an offer somewhere. I've begun putting in minimum effort but don't want to significantly damage relationships within the group. How does one gracefully ride out the last 1/4 remaining of the analyst stint while coasting / looking for another job?
