Instant pot rice came out mushy 5 times, finally figured out the ratio

I've been trying to save money by batch cooking rice in my Instant Pot, but it kept coming out like paste. Last week I tried using 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water instead of the 1:1.5 ratio the manual said, and it was perfect. Turns out my cheap store brand rice absorbs way less liquid than the fancy stuff. Anyone else have to fiddle with their water amount based on the rice bag? What ratio works for you guys?

I saw a video where this lady said the 1:1 thing works better for older or cheaper rice cause it's already kinda dried out. I've been doing 1 cup rice to 1.25 cups water for my jasmine and it's way less gluey now. The manual ratios are just a starting point, you really gotta test your own bag.
