I've always thought it should be as much as needed, totally with B!

Wait, 10% of senior developers? That doesn't make sense!

25% seems way too high for refinement.

I vaguely remember something about senior developers being involved in refinement, but 10% seems too specific. I think it’s more about the team’s overall capacity.

I believe the focus is on not jeopardizing the Sprint goal, so option B makes sense to me, but I’m a bit uncertain about how that translates into actual time.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like 25% of sprint capacity sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's the right approach.

I think I remember that backlog refinement should be flexible, but I'm not sure if it's really "as much as needed" or if there's a specific percentage we should aim for.

I'm a bit confused on the right way to handle this. Should we just tell the Product Owner we can't rework it, or is there a better way to address the changed requirements?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know microservices are supposed to be easier to scale, but I'm not sure if it's always a challenge to scale individual parts. I'll have to think about this one.
