Regen braking do you use it or disable it?

I’m really interested to hear how everyone is handling regenerative braking, are you using it or turning it off? I’ve noticed some setups where it actually improves control and extends battery life, while others claim it can interfere with the feel or traction under certain circumstances. What’s been working best for you, and what’s your reasoning?
 
I usually have regen braking on, but I turn it down a notch. It helps battery last longer and give me more control when I'm going downhill. Max regen can be too sensitive and mess with grip on loose ground, so I adjust it for the surface and how fast I'm going.
 
Hey, it's also a great idea to see if regen affects the motor temps, long downhills can make it heat up. So, if you can, watch out for that. Also, pairing regen with proper suspension tuning can help maintain traction when braking force kicks in
