How long of a fast do you think returns the most health benefits?

I'm trying to get back into it and do around 4 x 18-20 hours fasts per week. That's what works best for me and my schedule, and I'm used to those kinds of fasts.
I think it's more beneficial to do more often and short fasts (i.e. 16, 18 or 20 hours) than to do one long (i.e. 36 or 48 hours) a week.
Just my 2 sats
Yeah I already do 16-18 hours everyday and started doing 40-45 on a quarterly basis.
I try to get to 16 hours semi-regularly, but I couple it with dry fasting. My understanding is that you get into autophagy a lot faster that way.
I don't doubt the benefits of going longer, but as they say "the best diet is the one you can keep."
We just finished fasting the month of Ramadan which consists of 30 days of daily fasting from sunrise to senset (no food, drink, medication or smoking).
