It is for the conductor to decide, but how can a conductor know? Some of this boils down to expertise, having a plan, and having an easy-to-read clock to help stay on the plan. That said, it’s helpful to have some idea of what the norms look like, perhaps with a heuristic or model or guidepost.
“Don't criticize. If a thing is wrong and you don't know exactly how to set it right, say nothing.”
— [George] Bernard Shaw - The Art of Rehearsal
