Do it until it's detuned to your liking. There's no set number, and everyone's detune is a little different. Just keep checking the sharpness every now and then, if you feel it's still to sharp go some more, if you think it's good then stop.

2.35 passes should do the trick

Well my question to you is, is the stone hard or relatively soft? Because with a real gummy stone you won't detune shit. If you got some thing hard then it is a pocket/ hard stone which can be used to detune. But if you are skiing rails, go until the edge doesn't take off any more finger nail(put nail at 45 degree angle on the edge and slide down or up)
