Long Resting - eviltoast

I’ve never played D&D and I’m getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I’m usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I’m usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge.

How often is everyone else going through a long rest? I know there’s a trade off of consuming camp supplies and so maybe I’m just the guy who saves all the items for end game and never ends up using them.

    I’m the same way wrt hoarding items until end game and never using them.

    I try to do a short rest after fights only if I’m pretty hurt or out of spell slots, and then will do a long rest if i know a big fight is coming up.

    I’m still in act 1 though, but I saw long resting too much can cause the story to advance and miss out on certain quests, so I’ve been trying to limit myself more.
