I am working as a VP / sales executive at an IT SI. My company moved away from a set number of PTO days to unlimited PTO (essentially no PTO). I haven’t taken much PTO on the last 3 years. Now I need elongated time off but don’t know how much PTO will be considered too much PTO. Ideally, I will like to use both regular PTO and FMLA (I qualify). Any thoughts on how much PTO is considered normal vs what may be too much

I would suggest checking with HR. Many companies have a cap on how much PTO can be taken before it's formally considered a leave of absence.

Agreed. My company converts anything beyond four weeks of PTO to a sabbatical. Still, even being able to take four consecutive weeks of PTO takes advanced planning.

I work at an agency that has unlimited PTO. It sounds like you are looking more for a leave vs PTO. Talk to your HR, explain the situation and they will let you know how much you should code as PTO v FMLA time. For example, we had someone who went on paternity leave, he was out 6 weeks, 4 he coded as leave and 2 weeks were PTO.
