No one (save for Maya herself) knows for sure, although a Peacock source says it was a "personal, family-based decision" and had nothing to do with money or screen time.

 Glitterati: What's Bugging Maya Rudolph
When Rudolph, along with her husband, film director Paul Anderson and their new baby moved into an upscale apartment in SoHo, they soon learned it wasn't worth the $13,500.00 a month they were paying in rent - because the place was infested with bedbugs.
When Rudolph and her husband complained and an exterminator was sent over, they were advised to leave the apartment for as long as a few weeks.
That was the last straw it seems, since the couple have filed a lawsuit, seeking $450,500.00 in compensatory and punitive damages, repayment of rent, broker's fees and legal fees.
