I cultured starter about 7 months ago from T55 wheat flour and kept it around 80-90% hydration. Then, five months ago i converted it to 65% hydration and started using GR flour mixture (usually 30% of total flour). So levain is always kept at room temerature and fed twice per day (50g levain, 65g water, 100g flour (1:1.3:2 ratio)). When preparing for bake I feed it as usually and take what usually goes to waste for another builds, depending on what I bake.
