Default Rachio irrigation system: proper watering settings

Hi all,
I recently replaced an old Hunter irrigation timer with a WiFi Rachio system. It works great. But, I have a question about "how much" watering is correct...I know, it's a tough call.

So, I used the Rachio setup to describe the types of zones (grass, bushes, beds, etc). I don't recall it asking me about square footage, etc.

*** Can anyone describe the best way to properly set watering amounts.
We live in Spanish Springs and I can't tell if it's too much. Obviously "not enough" will be clearly visible.

Our latest bill for November showed 14,000 gallons of use. Our house does NOT have separate irrigation/potable water meters, so it's not clear how much got used in the house.

ps: Yes, I saw a previous thread and read it as well:
