I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now and I'm still figuring out the watering schedule

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now and I'm still figuring out the watering schedule. The leaves look healthy and it's putting out new growth, but I'm paranoid about root rot since the soil stays damp longer than I expected in my humid tropical climate. Does anyone else struggle with this, or am I just overthinking it? I've started letting the top inch dry out between waterings, which seems to help.
