When to decrease percentages from TDEE?

Hi All
I was just wondering what weight range for pounds left to lose, should you start decreasing from -20% to -15% to -10% etc etc.
I have upped from 800 net calories to TDEE -20% which for me is 1750 for over a month now. I put a little bit of weight on, but lost it again so really happy with that. As i only want to lose about another 17 pounds, i was wondering if a 20% cut is to much. Should i stick with 20% longer, or try 15%.
Was just wondering what increments people have used for themselves when they have got closer to their goal weight?
Cheers :-)

I was wondering the same thing. I have mine set at -20% but I kept thinking it wasn't right. I am new at the tdee -% and I am still learning. :flowerforyou:0
