A related question - Any rule of thumb on how long is too long to keep ink in a pen without using it? I like to trade off between pens and only have a couple fountain pens. Sometimes I will go several months without using one. How do you know when it is enough to just flush it with water vs using a cleaner.

There is no such number. It really is individual to the pen. As long as it starts immediately when you do use it all is fine and if it doesn't then you let it sit too long.
And I've never found it necessary to use a cleaner.
