I don’t even get to the point where I ask ask my manager about priorities, I just tell people that my plate is full and they need to go talk to my manager and have them let me know if I’m to work on your problem.

The danger here is you're letting someone else frame the situation and present their own narrative. They could just as easily go to your boss and say "Passerby6497 wouldn't help me when I needed it". Sure, your boss can and should shield you, but you're creating more work for your boss.

Nah, he knows how much I help people (I constantly joke about being addicted with the curse of competence), and he's even told me in the past to send people to him so he can tell them no.
