Do my existing i bonds cop the new, higher rate? I copped 10k for me and 10k for wife a few years ago when the variable rate was 9% or something. Not sure what the fixed rate was back then.

According to this chart, the fixed rate I have is probably less than 1% and "fixed": https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/108055644-1730387315647-D8z0D-i-bond-rates-since-1998_3.png?v=1730387341

Around 5%, indexed to inflation, and varying every few months over the life of the bond.

Why don't you just keep everything in VOO and stop sweating this stuff?

Because VOO can lose money while i-bonds can't and the tax deferral is really nice. If you're near/at retirement I wouldn't be 100% VOO.
