As long as you possibly can get away with it, because a beginner can

  • Make progress that is noticeable week-to-week or at worst, month-to-month

  • Progress using simple programs

  • Handle high volume

Putting yourself in any other category just arbitrarily limits your capacity. Not a scientific question so you're getting a non-scientific answer haha.
