1try leaving a couple of weeks between the proof reads, you will pick up much more if you are approaching it fresh – JenB Aug 10 '21 at 10:24

Until you are happy with the result and are not finding major issues any more. For some that means one editing and proofreading pass after writing the text; for others, it may mean five.
