Need advice on selling for a loss to offset capital gains

I have realized some capital gains this year with the selling of some stock. I'm thinking of selling some old Halliburton stock I have at a loss to offset the capital gains and re-buying in 2022 (after 60 days). Is this a good idea? Should I reconsider and just pay the capital gains tax which would be roughly 4-5K?

Pretty sure you can buy back after 30 days and it not be a wash sale.

Yeah I think you are right, looks like it is 30 days

you need to wait 31 days before the reinvestment.

When you tax loss harvest, it is ideal if you can find a short to possibly long term alternative for the 31 day waiting period. Maybe you sell HAL and buy SLB instead?
Depends on the situation.
