I would aim for at least 20 days. "Reasonable" is whatever you can use while still meeting your utilization target. My firm also has unlimited pto and I used 33 days last year.
Unlimited PTO may eventually be exposed as some kind of weird social science experiment. People wind up having to get it approved and have to subject themselves to anxiety and emotional blackmail. Most people will lowball themselves rather than risk offending the organization. I'm joking about it being a diabolical experiment, but it really could be.
60 days
Unlimited PTO is a scam. It just benefits the company that doesn’t have to accrue and payout vacation upon your departure. It just causes anxiety and questions like this.

20-30
45 days
Take as much as you can. Get paid not to work!
Wow, it sounds like you’re in a lucky position there because most companies that offer unlimited PTO don’t really mean it. My company only gives us 10 days off for PTO each year. So I would love the option to take 11 or 20 days a year off. I don’t know kinda get a feel what other people in your office are doing. And take a queue from them.
I took 35 days this year on unlimited. Most people in my department took 25-35 days.
This is where is varies by manager. I have seen some managers not care until they were past 25. I have seen others start monitoring after 15.
As long as it doesn’t negatively impact your work I say target 25 days and see if you can squeeze in 30.
I dont think i have one manager. I have worked with different managers in different offices. By manager, do you mean my coach?
Under limited pto, PA usually gives 20 days as a start. I suggest you take the same amount and go up if you meet or exceed target hours.
When I started in public accounting (a long time ago), I started with 20 days. When we switched to unlimited a few years ago, I took note of what my currently allotment was prior to the switch, which was 27 days. So I use that as a gauge. I encourage my team members to take at least 20 days (and would not push back on additional unless it was several days in the middle of busy season or they weren't meeting their metrics/deadlines). I aim to take at least 27 days.
I take 25-30 every year

Whatever it was before they made it unlimited
Since you are on unlimited I’d shoot for 15 to 18. I’m on accrued PTO that carries over. I’ve hardly used any myself.
Haven’t done a thing since 10/15.
At least 23 days
Take some meaningful time off (a week) at least three times during the year and use single days off around holiday weekends.
You’ll end up with about 20 days off but you’ll more importantly get the spirit of unlimited pto, which is to take breaks periodically throughout the year so that you’re less likely to burn out.
