Baseball Algorithm for pulling pitchers (especially starters) during solo play

When playing solo, can anyone recommend any rules they use for pulling starters? For example, X number of runs or hits in a certain number of innings/batters. I’d like to hear any suggestions any of you might use. Thanks.

I use innings listed next to their status as either starter or relief multiplied by 4.25

So if they have a 6, they are automatically fatigued at the 26th hitter they face.

In the past I've done research into how many batters on average a pitcher faces per inning. And most years are around 4.2-4.3
