Do you stop link building?

I think that in such case you can just lower the amount of linkbuild to do. In order to hold your position.
If you'll stop doing it at all you'll lose your positions and it will be harder to get back again.
 
If I have some keywords in TOP 2/3, I would definitely continue with linkbuilding...
If I have some keywords in TOP 1, I would stop linkbuilding...
 
Once I'm on #1-#3 for keywords with 1000+ search volume, I slow down link-building. Instead, I keep the content updating and stealing sub-topics from competitors.
Also, i follow Google search console to pick up keywords that I'm ranked at 10-100th positions and optimize content with them(if it's already not optimized).

Also, I don't let the CTR go down and make as many elements/changes in the content as it demands to keep the dwell time high.
Got good results and consistent #1 rankings so far.
how do you optimize content? any specific tool?
 
As my opinion Not to stop Link building in any conditions, because it's a one of most important ranking factor in SERP. We doing link building for getting Backlinks from high PR or aged domains.
