Hello! New here and new to the world of blackjack!
Just wondering if most AP's Skip bets when running -1tc when playing at a Multi-player table, say first 10-20% of a 8 deck shoe? Can't seem to find any info on this

If stopping to move to another table or leave for the day due to negative count - that’s called wonging out and is acceptable strategy. If in and out of a shoe selectively based on count - that’s poor form, pisses off the other players and is a flag for the pit and surveillance.
If you want out of the shoe but want to retain the spot - go for a leak or answer your phone. I used to have this fake phone app - press a button and phone was set to ring in 10 seconds.

I'm restless and impatient by nature, so I rarely sit still for more than an hour (I'll stay at the same table but take breaks) but in my counting days I would be way more likely to take a break if we're midway through a shoe and the TC is -4 (or worse).
I would also usually play at a $5 table but my starting bet was $10 or $15, meaning I could go down when the count was bad. (I was obviously not trying to make big bucks, and based on what I know now that wasn't a good strategy.)
Why wasn’t it a good strategy? You’re playing at a low heat $5-$200 table with $10 off the top. You’ve got a playable cut (per your prior comments) with a 1-10 or 1-12 ramp ($10-$120, all of a sudden becoming $5-$120) , theoretically optimal, with only a very modest decrease in SCORE, you play all and don’t have to drive across town to find another table.I would also usually play at a $5 table but my starting bet was $10 or $15, meaning I could go down when the count was bad. (I was obviously not trying to make big bucks, and based on what I know now that wasn't a good strategy.)
Further, they’re some side bets which pay off more at extreme (both) positive and negative counts, and in the case of negative can be used to subsidize.
I play all, all of the time - utilizing numerous strategies - and I have absolutely no complaints.
I was told by one of the shift managers where I work that a bet spread of 12 or more is what will get their attention. At both places I've been backed off, it only happened when I moved my range from $5-$50 to $5-$75. If he was right, then the better strategy would have been to play $5-$50 or $10-$100.
