Has anyone hit their goal weight and tapered off retatrutide?

Quick bit of context, five foot six roughly, female, began around 70 kilos hoping to land somewhere near 55. Got there inside half a year using a gradual approach, working up slowly from a tiny starting dose to 4mg. Wasn't carrying a huge surplus to begin with, but the physical shift is obvious, waistline dropped a few inches in that window. Feels like a good moment to hit pause and rethink priorities going forward. Genuinely curious how others handled scaling back this compound and shifting into a maintenance phase versus pushing further. What does a sensible long-term plan even look like here? Read some talk about pausing and restarting periodically, though other sources claim coming back after a break basically resets everything from scratch.
 
My guess is the responses here will mostly cite research showing full quitters end up back at or above starting weight after hitting goal. My hunch is most people here will settle at or close to their final dose after reaching goal, or drop somewhat but still stay on. My own plan involves moving over to reta while currently on tirz, and once goal weight arrives, cycling back off reta and onto tirz for the maintenance stretch. Expecting to land somewhere around 50-75% of my peak dose for that maintenance phase though.
 
Just hit goal weight recently so I'm still figuring out my maintenance dose. Right now doing 1mg every 10 days, planning to try stretching to every 2 weeks next and see how that holds.
 
This is exactly where I'm stuck right now. Hit goal weight today and now facing the maintenance question. Just not mentally there yet honestly. Already 90 pounds down over 19 months, so rounding up to an even 100 feels tempting. Planning to start tesa/ipa once the tesa arrives, so probably revisiting this decision once that's sorted.
