Asking manager a release?

Need guidance from fellow experienced folks or who have done this before. What are the proper reasons to ask for a release.

My reasons:

work is too hectic and repetitive and no growth technically (mostly support and maintenance once in a blue moon some dev sort of work).
Client is mismanaged they dont know what work is important and come with multiple deadlines even before prod day.
No proper KT is given when assigning a new task.
In the name of agile its kanban board and not jira (given a sprint task to be finished in a day or two and new tickets pulled in between).
Manager swaps ticket often in between sprint.
Manager is mostly away even on standups or client calls so we manage faking they worked and we manage in behind scenes.
Due to too many upcoming requests in tight deadlines from last 3 months wlb is miserable and have worked two weeks without an off once and night shift charges given is 220 only per day.

Now I need your all guidance on what can be a better approach or how to improvise

Unfortunately, none of the above will get you a roll off as many projects have such issues. If you've completed two years in the project then you can TRY getting a roll off by saying that you're moving to a different tech or personal reasons. If you're a critical resource then it gets difficult.

To answer your questions. Yes I completed two years in the company and in the project still a few months left. Yes I am one of the critical resource and I handle my manager’s work 🫠 which is bugging me a lot that how will I ask. Only way I see is getting out.
