Always work at 80% of your max sustainable capacity. It's a subtile difference, but one that will fuck you over. Just because you can run at a 500% burst, doesn't mean you can sustain 400% for long.

80% is my burst capacity unless you're gonna pay more than 4x my cost of living. 60% is my normal pace these days

Exactly. My policy is following: I will put out my maximum, work unreasonable shifts, pull as much as possible only if the bossman is right there beside me. Of course, my experience is outside huge corporate environments and more in SME, but I will not give a single extra fuck if I can help it. Once you do, it becomes expected of you all the time. Fuck that.
