I don't want them to be rare; I think they definitely have their place in the game. I'm just looking for some middle-ground between "I will never use that" and "I will spam that every round."That’s why I did rolled effect (healing or duration) as a bonus action and full effect as an action.
As the referee, you control what potions are in the game. That’s the solution. If you want them to be rare, make them rare.
Sure. But you control the quantity of potions in the game as the referee. They are exactly as plentiful as you want them to be.I don't want them to be rare; I think they definitely have their place in the game.

I find that using potions makes the whole game more dynamic; as long as the players can't just stock up on haste potions then choosing to use one becomes an interesting choice.Potions are a challenge for me.
I'm not a fan of the way that healing works in D&D, and healing potions aren't helping. Potions either let the player say "...and I instantly heal myself, too" as a bonus action, or they barely get used at all and everyone just glares at the cleric whenever they take damage.
And so you give them an inch, and they take a mile: you allow potions to be used as a bonus action, and suddenly everyone has six Potions of Haste in their inventory and they continue to glare at the cleric whenever they take damage.
I don't have any solutions, but I'm all ears if someone else does.
One house rule I liked was that it takes an action to consume a potion for full effect, and for most potions it's a matter of all-or-nothing, so drinking them as a bonus action does nothing.Potions are a challenge for me.
