Hasn't eaten in almost a month

I posted a few weeks ago that Prometheus has had a negative response to feeding a few times.

Well, this is the fourth time I've tried to feed him since his last feeding which was January 6th. I've made the prey size smaller, tried waiting longer between feeds and he's still acting hungry but being scared of the rat.

Temps and humidity are stable as always. He went through a perfect shed yesterday and I was hoping he'd have worked up an appetite, but I guess not. He used to drink and eat a lot and therefore poop and pee a lot. He peed a bit yesterday along with his shed but he hasn't pooped since the 14th of January. I know males go through a thing sometimes when they reject food; but how long is too long? When should I become concerned?

There are several factors why BP's go off feed. Temps are a biggy, then security (big enclosures, glass tanks) then there is winter. I have had a BP not eat for 5 months with no ill side effects. This was an adult male. If your snake is small/young it is probably a husbandry issue.

He's a 3 foot male just over a year and a half old
His humidity is at a steady 50-55%, his temps stay at 94 on the warm side and 80-83 on the cold side

How/What do you feed? Live, f/t, or p/k?

[Pandora]

Fed him live the first time I got him just over 2 months ago
Since then I've been feeding f/t and he's had a great response to both

You will always get a better feeding response with live.
Your husbandry sounds spot on. If he refuses live he is probably just doing his winter fast.

I haven't tried feeding him live since the first time
I just don't wanna go to the store, get a live rat that he's not even going to end up eating
I wouldn't know what to do with it afterward
Killing it and keeping it are not options

What about giving it to your other snake?

His size is too big for her
Unless I get something big enough for her to eat and give it a shot with him...
Gonna have to wait until next feeding day

I also don't want to risk any injuries if he gets scared of the live one as well

Furio just ate for the first time in a month but before that ate steady. Sometimes they just don't eat. Keep in mind as long as they aren't losing weight they have such a slow metabolism they've been known to go over a year with no food and negative side effects. I think it was awhile ago I was watching a show that on average in the wild Anaconda's eat like twice a year, keep in mind they eat boars but I wouldn't worry, just keep trying. Good luck!
