By which I mean where one system might tell the GM a party should be able to handle 4 encounters of a particular difficulty before needing to rest because each of those should use up around 25% of available resources, and thus expects that you're going to have that many encounters on the days that are meant to matter so the difficulty overall "feels right" - PF2 sets up encounters so that they are challenging even if you are at full resources, yet surmountable even if you don't have limited resources left to burn.</blockquote>
