Overtime in quarter end

I work in finance and we're expected to work a lot of overtime (average week 50-55 hours for two consecutive weeks) at the end of the quarter. Since I was hired, it was establish that beyond a certain number of hours we could accumulate our time and take it off later as vacations. My boss met the whole team last week to tell us that he no longer wanted to recognize our overtime, that it was normal to do some because we have professional-level jobs. My colleagues are really angry. But to be honest, all I can do is tell myself that I'm going to give myself my own vacations, never full days, but afternoons or a couple hours in the morning. Since we’re all WFH 3 days a week, as long as it's not too much he can't even tell if I'm away.
