Pie crust help?

I'm trying an improvement on our go-to pumpkin pie recipe:
blind-baking the crust before filling.
Can anyone advise me on adjusting the bake time for the filled
pie?
Do I need to reduce it? Go to the minimum and just keep
checking? Go for the normal time and cover the edges?
Is there a rule of thumb here? All my Google results are just
getting me basic blind-baking instructions. Thanks!

I would go with covering the edges and setting the timer for the
minimum time then check and adjust, as needed. I don't think
you will need to reduce the time very much, if at all. I would
think the pie filling would be the limiting factor on how long
the pie needs, regardless of whether or not the crust is raw or
cooked.

You were right about the main factor being the filling. For some
reason, I had soooooo much filling, the 10 inch pie pan was full
to the brim. It took forever to set, so I had to keep adding
10-minute increments. But it looks gorgeous now!
