Is anyone else in this position?

So without divulging too much detail, I’ve found myself in a job making about $175K and basically doing nothing. I play video games while working and my tasks get done but the reality is I’m probably doing 10 hours of work a week and dinking around for the rest. Is this normal? I’m terrified someone will figure it out but within my organization and team I’m highly regarded as a key employee. I could probably change companies and jump to the $200k+ range but I’d rather not risk losing what seems to be an amazing gig where I’m paid well and get to do what I want most of the day.
