I don't think it is a work to rule exactly.

Work to rule is when you work exactly to the rule book - even if the rule book is a bit daft - in the hope that working exactly to the rule causes the employer lost of problems so they are forced to recognise that the workforce is providing some good will. So if the rule in a paint factory says "work stops when the factory hooter sounds" you down tools exactly when the hooter sounds and if that means a big batch of paint that was going to be properly finished in the next 5 minutes is ruined then, so be it.

What I think quiet quitting means is someone who was habitually working over and above their agreed work just deciding to do what they are contracted for. So if I'm paid 9-5 I work 9-5 and I leave at 5pm.

I think they are a bit different.
