Pacman frog refusing to eat

You might try covering three of the sides to help reduce stress, and he really doesn't need that much light, you have to remember these guys live on the forest floor of tropical rainforests. They will get some light but not 10 hours of intense UV.

I've covered three sides now, and I have ordered a thermostat controlled heat mat. I've also ordered some crickets in case he wants to eat in private. Should regular daylight from the window enough light?

Can anyone think of anything else I could try? How much longer until I should force feed?

Honestly your frog doesn't look like he wasn't eating for 4 months, may be its the pic. Crickets may help, he was probably used to eating them in a store.
You know given he was down for so long and survived I'd do electrolyte bath to help restore a proper balance and get reptiboost ( fluckers reptiaid) and dust all your food in it for a week or so.
The bath should be warm (80-82F), and ratio as was suggested 1 part of electrolyte solution ( unflavoured pedialyte or similar) and 10 parts of water. 20 min.

Yes, regular ambient light is fine. i very strongly suggest you get a digital combo instead of your gauges. Analog ones can show whatever they feel like it. This way you be sure of temp and humidity.

i have had mine for over a year he has refused food in the past as well and the one thing that made him interested in food again was offering a small frozen fuzzie mouse or pinkies. if really worried coat a fuzzie mouse or pinkie in reptaboost and offer him the food by long tongs i learned the hard way when mine got over excited and lunged after back away and looking like he wouldnt eat then bit my fingers. mine now refuses crickets but loves night crawlers and his once a month mouse or frozen baby chicken. sometimes pacman's eat only 3 times a month their lazy slow digesting animals like baby corn snakes they can go up to 2 months with refusing food yours can also be going through a rough shed where he wont eat till he gets rid of the too tight of skin
