The bond market has changed dramatically in the last few years with the amount of debt we have now.
It is experiencing historical draw downs that we have not seen before.
Bond prices are trading at 2013 levels
You are only 45, stay in the S&P 500 (even though only 10 of the companies are responsible for 90% of the growth) and consider a small portion of your portfolio to a hard asset that can't be printed out of this air (gold/BTC)
Seriously, at 45 there is no reason to have any money in bonds. If you were 70, my opinion on the matter would change slightly.

I haven’t changed anything in my 401k in 12 years. Just went and looked and my bonds were sucking arse. Moved it to S&P 500 because it was out performing everything else I’m in except for my company stock.

In a regime of fiscal dominance where debt/gdp must be shrunk to avoid govt insolvency long bonds are certificates of confiscation, reward free risk.

I wish I could justify a significant bond position. ROI is just not competitive ... yet.
