In order to have nothing left to achieve, you would have reached the state of an undifferentiated being, at which point the notion of killing yourself would be pointless, as there is no longer any self in the traditional sense.

Tl;Dr: No

Wouldn’t having nothing left to achieve, make you basically god?

Oh no? Do you not consider self mummification suicide by starvation?

Anyone who thinks they have nothing left to achieve probably should kill themselves. But, I doubt you'll find a stoic who meets that criteria.

Yes, but you will never reach that point.

It's more of a koan than anything actionable.
