As someone who has been there before, time to get that CV up to date, get any linkedin stuff sorted, and use that free time to start browsing the jobs market so that you're ready.
I once didn't take that advice and promptly got dumped on my backside without the last month's pay because the whole thing had folded (I got paid a few months later through the liquidators, but that didn't help get my rent paid when I needed it!)
First thing I did was update my resume. I "job hopped" a bit over the last few years, out of necessity, and I've only been at this job for a year. I'll probably try to stick it out for a while. It's also a brand new tech stack to me so as far as I'm concerned I'm getting paid to pad my resume.
Edit: also I work for an unprofitable division of a much larger profitable company so not as much risk of the entire place folding.
Sounds like you're prepared then!
