You'll want to recharge out of Keto every few weeks for 3 or 4 days to recharge glycogen stores.

I find one day of moderate carb intake does the trick.
It's hard not to fall into doing that consecutively however.
I was getting by with lots of carbs averaging 800 calories a day, but this is a bad way to live in general.
I think we can produce and restore glycogen without carb loading, it's just not as quick or efficient.
I guess the appropriate balance of carbohydrates has a lot to do with activity and timing.
It's never good to spike insulin with a lot of calories in one sitting as the body has only one option for dealing with that, produce more insulin and store excess as fat. Sugar is absolutely the worst for this.
