Ok, I am looking like your pointer, at the TubeBuddy Estimated Income. I have TB installed on my computer.
First of all, the operative word here is
estimated. That figure on the right is your estimated income for a whole year, not what you have made to date. What does your Adsense actually say in the Estimated Income section? The green figure your pointer indicates on the left is also an
estimate; not your true earnings; those will only be shown in your Adsense Dashboard. Have you been asked to set your payment destination bank account, or sent your verfication PIN yet? If not, you are nowhere near payment threshold.
2.5 million views isn't 2.5 million
monetized views. Please go into your YouTube Analytics section. Select Lifetime, as your date range, and then go into the Revenue section. What does your Lifetime Monetized Views say? And what does your current and/or Lifetime YouTube Income section say also? TubeBuddy never gives an accurate account of your earnings; you must look at your YouTube Analytics and Adsense Dashboard to get an accurate picture. My own reports are skewed; I left an MCN last August; so my income reports reset at that point in time.

Finally if you don't care about growing your channel anymore,
it is destined to die. If it dies, your income from it will stagnate and then stop one day. If you abandon your channel, YouTube
will eventually delete it as an inactive account.
Is this what you want?
The CPC (Cost Per Click) is determined by which ad types are shown against your videos and by country they are shown in; as determined by auction amongst the advertisers. Unless you have inside access to the YouTube Algorithm itself (which by the way would be gaming the system in the worst way possible), the only way to raise this figure would be to alter your content to a type which has a more expensive base price. Gaming videos and also prank videos are as cheap as air these days, due to how many gaming and prank channels exist on YouTube.
