Doc told me 1g per kilogram. He raised an eyebrow when I asked how I could possibly get 1g per pound and he said it would be terrible for people’s kidneys if they had to consume that much.
It does seem to indicate you can likely get away with less than that, but I think a gram per kilo would be a bit under optimal.
Also if you don’t already have kidney issues there’s not really anything to worry about with consuming extra protein, other than that it gets expensive. Same myth that people used to discuss with creatine consumption.

Been a while since I’ve looked into it, but looks like now it might be a bit less, at .8/lb: https://mennohenselmans.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/
