A couple of hard-boiled eggs for breakfast—properly seasoned, of course—along with about half a liter of my preferred beverage.😁

A bit of a slip of the pen there... I appreciate the correction.😘

You can actually scale it down using a specific feature within Adobe Photoshop...
When you open a GIF in Photoshop, I’d suggest first setting it to "optimized" mode; that way, you get a clear look at the actual file size in kilobytes before you start making changes.
Go to Image > Image Size, resize the GIF to your target dimensions, and then check if the resulting file size hits the mark you're looking for.
If the file still feels a bit too heavy, you can try gradually stripping back the color palette within the GIF settings.
To get the most polished result, you really want to find that sweet spot by balancing the physical dimensions of the image against the number of colors used—it’s all about finding that perfect equilibrium for the smallest possible KB footprint.
By the way, don't forget that Ctrl+Z is your best friend for undoing any mistakes if you need to backtrack. In my experience, it’s often most efficient to just jump straight from something like 100 x 100 down to 50 x 50.
